Cultured Palate: Dishes from Finland

Kaalikääryleet
In a country which spends most of its time in darkness during the long winter season, cabbage is an extremely important ingredient in Finnish cuisine. The most important cabbage dish in Finland is kaalikääryleet, a type of cabbage rolls similar to Greek dolmades. For kaalikääryleet, cabbage is boiled down until the leaves are pliable, then each leaf is stuffed with a mixture of ground meat and rice, and baked until pleasingly golden brown. In Finland, these are usually served with lingonberry jam.
