Savolainen kalakukko (Traditional Finnish dish)

PARAS Ohje savolaisen kalakukon tekoon sähköuunissa.

THE BEST recipe to make traditional Finnish fish dish made from perch:

Heat up the oven to 250°C
Mix water, oil, salt, and flours until it becomes a firm dough
Roll the dough into about 30x40cm round and flat base. Leave the centre a bit thicker; about 8mm
Put some rice on the base, it will take the extra moisture out from the fish
Set fishes flat on the middle of the base. First one layer, then add salt, then another layer, salt, etc..
Set meat on and around the fish. Add some salt also for the meat
Make the edges wet with water
Fold the edges over the filling. Make sure edges are 'glued' tight together; use knife and water if needed
Dry the surface with rye flour
Put the dish on the baking paper on the thick bottomed oven pan
Bake about 30-40 minutes in 250 °C until the surface is hardened
-Take the dish out from the oven and set the oven to 125 °C. Spread butter all over it, and then fold the baking paper and aluminium foil around it
Put the dish back into the oven for about 6 hours. The same dish made from salmon or vendace only takes about 4 hours
Enjoy the dish either hot or cold. It will be the best with a real butter


Dough:
3 dl water
2 table spoon cooking oil
2 tea spoon salt
4 dl wheat flour
4 dl rye flour


Filling:
About 700g cleansed perch, salmon, or vendace
100-150 g fresh bacon or side pork (boneless)
1 table spoon rice
1 table spoon salt

Enjoy!

PS. You can also make the same dish with boneless chicken breast or other soft meat or vegetables. It's best to pre-cook the chicken before using it as a filling.
