Karjalanpaisti - Karelian stew
A easy and delicious Finnish meat stew that has just a few simple ingredients to make!
Ingredients
- 500 grams / 1 pound of meat, half beef and half pork.
- 1-1½ tsp salt
- A few whole white peppers
- A few whole allspice
- 2 onions
- 1-2 carrots
- 1 bay leaf

Instructions
- Cut the meat into bite sized pieces. Ready-cut Karelian roast meats are often quite small cubes.
- Put all the ingredients in the pot and add enough water to cover 1/3-2/3 of the meat pieces.
- Put the pot in the oven. The temperature should initially be 225°C/440°F so that the uppermost pieces of meat brown a little.

Serve with mashed potatoes.
