Rössypottu

Rössypottu is a classic Finnish dish originating from the Oulu region. It's somewhat of a hidden gem, particularly for those from the southern parts of Finland where it is less familiar. This hearty stew embodies simplicity and comfort, comprising just a few essential ingredients: potatoes, pork, and the standout component—“rössy.” Rössy is a unique form of blodpalt, made from a mixture of blood, beer, rye flour, and spices, which imparts the dish with its distinctive flavor. If you ever find yourself in northern Finland, make sure to try Rössypottu!
