Finnish Pork Sauce | Läskisoosi

Add 2 lbs of pork belly with rind into a large pot.

Pour water into the pot and add 2 teaspoons of salt.

Bring the mixture to a boil and then simmer for about an hour.

Let the pork cool slightly, then cut it into bite-sized pieces.

Fry the pork pieces in a pan on medium to low heat until crispy.

Remove the pork from the pan and add 1 chopped onion to fry in the pork fat with a pinch of salt.

Once the onion is browned, add 2 cloves of garlic and cook briefly.

Remove the onions and add 3 tablespoons of butter to the pan until melted.

Stir in 3/4 cup of flour and toast until it reaches a mahogany color.

Gradually add the pork broth to the pan to create a sauce.

Season the sauce with additional salt and black pepper, then mix in the onions and pork.

Plate the pork sauce with mashed potatoes and pickles on the side.
