kehatajule

Kehatajule is a traditional Estonian dish that has been a staple in Estonian cuisine for centuries. The name "kehatajule" translates to "meat sausage" in English, reflecting its primary ingredient. The dish is typically made from a mixture of ground pork, beef, or a combination of both, along with various spices and seasonings. The meat is often minced and mixed with salt, pepper, and sometimes other herbs like dill or parsley.

The mixture is then stuffed into casings, which can be either natural (made from animal intestines) or artificial (made from collagen or other synthetic materials). The casings are then boiled or steamed to cook the sausage, resulting in a tender and flavorful product. Kehatajule is often served with bread, potatoes, or other side dishes, and can be enjoyed as a main course or a snack.

The dish has a long history in Estonia, with recipes dating back to the medieval period. It has been passed down through generations and remains a popular choice for both traditional and modern Estonian meals. Kehatajule is not only a culinary delight but also a cultural symbol, representing the country's rich culinary heritage and the art of sausage-making.
