tekeillään

Tekeillään is a traditional Finnish dish that has been a staple in Finnish cuisine for centuries. The dish is typically prepared with a variety of ingredients, including potatoes, carrots, and sometimes other root vegetables, all cooked together in a pot. The key ingredient is teke, a type of potato that is native to Finland and has a distinctive, slightly sweet flavor. The vegetables are usually peeled and cut into chunks before being placed in a large pot with water. The pot is then covered and simmered until the vegetables are tender. Once cooked, the vegetables are often mashed or pureed, and the dish is typically served with butter or sour cream for added flavor. Tekeillään is often enjoyed as a side dish, accompanying various main courses such as meat, fish, or poultry. It is a comforting and hearty dish that reflects the simplicity and rustic nature of Finnish cooking.
