What is Kalakuko?

Kalakukko is a traditional Finnish meal from the eastern Savonia region. It consists of filling fish, pork and bacon roasted in rye bark. As soon as it is baked, it resembles a loaf of rye bread until it is open to reveal the filling. It is similar to a spicy cake, except that the dough is completely wrapped around the filling than to add the upper bark. Salmon is also used sometimes. Some recipes may include potatoes or rutabaga. Modern chefs add to the fillings of spices or other spices, although the traditional recipe calls only to salt and relies on juices boiling inside the dough to bring the taste of meat. The filling is laminated, with pork and bacon lining the interior of the pastry and fish in the center. Depending on the size of the fish, it must be baked for four to seven hours cooking all the way. It is baked in two phases, first at a high temperature per brown bark and then cook the filling at a lower temperature.

in some considerationCH is similar to Cornish paste, British delicacies that consist of minced meat and vegetables inside pastries. Both meals originally served the same purpose of a combination of meat and parts of bread into a single, easy -to -portable package. They made good lunch for workers who were away from home. Another advantage is that Kalakukko retains for a long time after baking.

Kalakukko can be eaten hot or cold. It is traditionally served with buttermilk. The traditional method of its food is to cut the upper part of the bark, butter and eat it and then cut the slices to get some pastry and part of the filling in each section.

Europkomise EAN for agriculture and rural development has granted Kalakukko protected geographical status in July 2002.
