mukeille

Mukeille is a traditional Finnish dish that has been a staple in Finnish cuisine for centuries. The name "mukeille" is derived from the Finnish word "muki," which means "dumpling." This dish is typically made from a simple dough that is filled with a savory mixture of ingredients. The most common filling is a combination of potatoes, onions, and sometimes other vegetables like carrots or leeks. The dough is usually made from flour, water, and sometimes eggs, and it is rolled out thinly before being cut into small squares or rectangles. These squares are then filled with the savory mixture and boiled until they are tender and fluffy. Mukeille is often served as a side dish, accompanying main courses such as meat stews, fish, or even as a standalone dish. It is a versatile and comforting dish that reflects the simplicity and heartiness of Finnish cooking. The dish is also a popular choice for traditional Finnish celebrations and gatherings, adding a touch of warmth and familiarity to the festive atmosphere.
