põimib

Põimib is a traditional Estonian dish, originating from the coastal regions of Estonia. It is a hearty stew made with a variety of ingredients, including potatoes, carrots, onions, and a selection of meats such as pork, beef, or fish. The dish is typically cooked in a large pot, with the vegetables and meats simmering together until tender. The stew is then thickened with a roux made from flour and butter, and often flavored with spices such as bay leaves, thyme, and black pepper. Põimib is often served with a side of bread or rye bread, and is a popular dish during the colder months in Estonia. The name "põimib" comes from the Estonian word for "to mix," reflecting the process of combining the various ingredients in the stew.
