Best Finnish Beef Ragout Palapaisti Finland Recipes
MEAT STEW - FINLAND - KARJALANPAISTI
This slow roasted stew is from Finland. It's adapted from a recipe on scandinaviafood.com. It could easily be adaped to browning on the stove and finishing in the crockpot on low for 8 hours (I would reduce the liquid if cooking in the crockpot).

LIHAMOJAKKA, BEEF STEW - A FINNISH-AMERICAN RECIPE FOR ST. URHO'
Lihamojakka, Finnish Stew with Beef, is a favorite meal at Finnish-American St. Urho Day celebrations. St. Urho - Patron Saint of Grasshoppers - Believe it or not...... there really is a Saint for grasshopper management, and his name is Saint Urho (pronounced ärrrr-hoe, stressing the rolling r). He is currently recognized as the Official Patron Saint of Finnish vineyard workers. As legend has it, he was responsible for saving the Finnish vineyards from a swarming outbreak of locusts. His method of control - a pitchfork and some strong words. "Heinäsirkka, heinäsirkka, meine täättä hiiteen" or roughly translated to English "Grasshopper, grasshopper, get the hell out of here," was enough to eradicate the hoards of locusts from the vineyard. These Finnish grape farmers were pretty protective of their crop, considering the short growing season. As the legend goes, these farmers injected vodka into the individual grapes to ensure a high alcohol content. And because of this heroic act of pest management, Urho was erected into sainthood by the local vintners. March 16th is St. Urho day, and properly celebrated by dressing in royal purple and nile green. NOTE: While this is a stove-top recipe, I don't see why it couldn't be done in the crockpot.

Steps:
- Place meat and 6 cups water in large soup pot and bring to a fast simmer over medium-high heat. Maintain the simmer for about twenty minutes, skimming off all of the grey scum that rises to the surface (this will ensure that the broth of the completed stew is clear, a characteristic of good lihamojakka).
- When the scum has stopped forming, reduce heat to low. Stir in chopped onion and garlic, bay leaves, whole allspice, and peppercorns. Cover pot and allow to cook for 2 hours (Hint: You can tie the bay leaves, allspice, and peppercorns together in a cheesecloth packet for easy removal if you don't wish to serve them as part of the completed stew).
- After two hours, stir in the potatoes, carrots, celery, rutabaga, and salt.
- Replace lid and simmer on medium-low until vegetables are tender (about 30 minutes).
- Whisk together the flour and water and stir into the stew. Simmer for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, until the broth has thickened.
- Serve with rye or artisan bread.
- And NO Grasshoppers please!

FINNISH BEEF AND DUMPLING SOUP (KLIMPPISOPPA FROM FINLAND)
This is from "The Best of Finnish Cooking." The author wanted to put together all of her Finnish recipes so that her sons could continue the family traditions and have those wonderful things to eat. This soup is a specialty of Western Finland. I haven't made it yet. Times are just guesstimates because I have no idea how long it would take for potatoes to cool as she mentions.

TRADITIONAL FINNISH PASTIES
Growing up as a young girl, my best friend's mom would make these. She was born in Finland and came over to America as a young girl and was raised in Ishpeming, Michigan. The family migrated out west after she married and had her own family. Her kitchen always had the most wonderful aroma of good things baking. Her pasties and braided bread were the best!

FINNISH BEEF RAGOUT (PALAPAISTI - FINLAND)
This is from "Best of Finnish Cooking", which holds the author's Finnish recipes for her sons, so that they can always have these dishes. I haven't tried this yet. The only other recipe that uses allspice and heavy cream had cumin in it, which isn't Finnish at all. This dish is often served with browned rutabagas and boiled potatoes. Simmering the ragout can be done on the stovetop or inside the oven. The great thing about round steak is that it is a cheaper piece of meat. However, a long, slow, low-heat simmer is necessary to make it tender. Don't try to rush with higher heat.

Steps:
- Brown beef cubes on all sides, a few at a time, in the mixture of butter and oil. Don't try to do all at once. It will lower the temperature too much and not be able to brown properly. When done, transfer into a casserole or dutch oven.
- Lightly brown the onions and vegetables in the same skillet; then put them in the casserole. Rinse the skillet with the 2 cups of water and add it to the casserole. Add salt and spices. Cover and let cook over low heat or in a 325 oven for 2 hours, or until the meat is tender.
- Mix flour with the 1/3 cup cold water and stir into the casserole along with the cream. Simmer 5 minutes. Add salt to taste.
