Very soon, Eesti Elu / Estonian Life newspaper will be coming to TikTok, with plenty of adventurous and insightful videos about everything relating to the Estonian way of life.
So be sure to follow us on TikTok! But in the meantime, one of our video contributors, Markus Pukonen, has shared a recipe.
You will have seen Markus and his motorless journey around the world written about in Eesti Elu back in July 2023. He was also a guest on EstoCast, Eesti Elu and VEMU Estonian Museum Canada’s podcast. These days, Markus lives in a cozy cedar cabin on the remote west coast of British Columbia, a paradise for surfing, sailing, hiking, and foraging. Which is where he’s been making this family recipe for rosolje as of late.
Here’s what you’ll need:
-5 red potatoes, boiled the day before
-3 hardboiled eggs, chopped finely
-3 small beets (cooked)
-4 pickles
-1 McIntosh apple
-3/4 of a jar of herring
-1/2 of an onion, chopped very, very finely
-(optional: 1 kilo of roasted beef)
-1 jar of mayonnaise
Making it is simple. Take each of these ingredients, boiling them as specific. Cut them into pieces. Mix everything except the mayonnaise together in a big bowl. Then mix in the mayonnaise and serve.
Head isu!
