Siskonmakkara

This soft, finely-textured, fresh Finnish sausage consists of pork meat and various spices. Although it can be cooked with the casing, it is usually crumbled or squeezed out of the casing and subsequently fried, cooked, and incorporated into other dishes, such as the siskonmakkarakeitto soup and various casseroles. The name of this traditional Finnish sausage is derived from the French word saucisse, meaning small sausage.
