Fresh domestic vegetables are part of the Finnish summer table. Restaurateur Akseli Herlevi, restaurateur, chef Kari “Kape” and chef Sikke Sumari tells what they buy especially in the summer or grocery store in the summer.
Herlevi mainly acquires summer vegetables from the market and makes a variety of them.
– New potatoes, of course, with traditional side dishes and cup wishes, ie the foal onion chips. A special own passion comes from a little later in the summer, when small and pretty frozen roots are available. I cook them first in the oven or boiling and glasse in a pan with butter and balsamic vinegar. Good as such or even with goat cheese, Herlevi advises.

– I’m trying to go a little bigger shop. In my opinion, that product does not change whether to buy it from the market or not. Of course, if you go to the marketplace, there are the latest vegetables and roots. But yes, it is good for the Citymarket potatoes, Sihinen laughs.

– We do not get in Finland from these laws, so they are awesome these fresh, lovely nailed vegetables like honey. The first stems of the summer are also on the shopping list. Of course, our Finnish cottage fillets also include new boiled potatoes.
Sikke Sumari also buys fresh domestic seasonal products from the market.
– I buy seasonal vegetables because summer is the best time in Finland. New potatoes will be bought and herring. It is of interest to the marketplace. That is, what has just grown from the earth’s wearing, he says.
