mitänn

Mitänn is a traditional dish from the northern regions of Sweden, particularly in the provinces of Norrbotten and Västerbotten. It is a hearty stew made with a variety of ingredients, including potatoes, carrots, onions, and a type of root vegetable known as "russ" or "russula," which gives the dish its distinctive flavor. The stew is often cooked with pork or beef, and sometimes includes other meats like mutton or venison. The dish is typically seasoned with salt, pepper, and sometimes a touch of sugar to balance the flavors.

Mitänn is often served with a side of boiled potatoes or boiled rice, and is commonly enjoyed during the colder months as a comforting and nourishing meal. The dish has been a staple in Swedish cuisine for centuries and is often prepared during family gatherings and special occasions. Its simplicity and robust flavors make it a beloved dish among Swedes, reflecting the region's agricultural heritage and the importance of hearty, home-cooked meals in Swedish culture.
