kohaldav
Kohaldav is a traditional Estonian dish that has been a staple in Estonian cuisine for centuries. The name "kohaldav" translates to "to be cooked" in English, reflecting the dish's preparation method. It is typically made from pork, although other meats such as beef or lamb can also be used. The meat is first marinated in a mixture of spices, including black pepper, nutmeg, and bay leaves, which are then cooked in a pot with water, onions, and potatoes. The dish is often served with boiled potatoes and a side of pickled cucumbers. Kohaldav is known for its rich, hearty flavor and is often enjoyed during the colder months of the year. It is a popular dish in Estonia and is often served at family gatherings and special occasions. The dish's simplicity and hearty nature make it a comforting and satisfying meal for those looking to warm up on a cold day.
