painoliivit

Painoliivit, also known as painolii or painolii, are a traditional Finnish dish consisting of a large, round bread roll filled with a savory mixture of minced meat, onions, and spices. The bread roll is typically made from a simple dough of flour, water, and yeast, and is boiled before being filled. The filling is prepared by sautéing minced meat with onions and spices such as black pepper, nutmeg, and allspice, and then mixing in a beaten egg. The filling is then placed into the bread roll, which is then boiled again to set the filling. Painoliivit are often served as a main dish, accompanied by a side of boiled potatoes or other vegetables. The dish is a staple of Finnish cuisine and is often enjoyed during the holiday season.
