kynnyksetöntä

Kynnyksetöntä is a traditional Finnish dish that has been a staple in Finnish cuisine for centuries. The name "kynnyksetöntä" translates to "without cheeks," referring to the absence of the cheeks of the pork, which are typically removed before cooking. This dish is made from the cheeks of pork, which are slow-cooked in a flavorful broth until they become tender and fall off the bone. The cheeks are then removed and the broth is used to make a rich, hearty soup. The cheeks can also be minced and used as a filling for various dishes, such as meatballs or pasties. Kynnyksetöntä is often served with boiled potatoes and lingonberry jam, and is a popular dish during the colder months of the year. The dish is a testament to the ingenuity of Finnish cooks, who have long known how to make the most of every part of the animal.
