saukko

Saukko is a traditional Finnish dish that has gained popularity in recent years, particularly among vegetarians and vegans. The dish is named after the Finnish word for "sauce," reflecting its sauce-based nature. Saukko is typically made with a base of mushrooms, often a combination of porcini and shiitake, which are sautéed and then simmered in a creamy sauce. The sauce is usually made from a combination of milk, cream, and flour, which gives it a rich and velvety texture. The dish is often served with potatoes, either boiled or mashed, and can be garnished with fresh herbs such as parsley or chives. Saukko is a versatile dish that can be served as a main course or as a side dish, and it pairs well with a variety of other foods, including grilled meats and fish. Its simplicity and rich flavor make it a popular choice for both casual and formal dining.
