särmäykset

Särmäykset, also known as "särky" in singular, are a traditional Finnish dish consisting of a large, round bread roll filled with a savory mixture of ingredients. The bread roll is typically made from a simple dough, while the filling can vary depending on the region and personal preference. Common ingredients include minced meat, onions, potatoes, and sometimes eggs or cheese. The filling is usually seasoned with salt, pepper, and sometimes nutmeg or other spices. The särky is then baked until the bread is golden brown and the filling is cooked through. This dish is often served as a main course, accompanied by various side dishes such as pickled cucumbers, mustard, or a simple salad. Sarmäykset are a popular comfort food in Finland, often enjoyed during family gatherings and special occasions. The dish has a long history in Finnish cuisine, with its origins dating back to the 19th century.
