The stew is often seasoned with salt, pepper, and sometimes other spices like nutmeg or allspice. Tuotesuos is a hearty and comforting dish, often served as a main course and accompanied by bread or other side dishes. Its simplicity and versatility make it a popular choice for both everyday meals and special occasions. The dish has also gained international recognition, with many Finnish restaurants and home cooks around the world offering their own interpretations of tuotesuos.
