Pölsa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pölsa served with a fried egg and pickled beetroot

Pölsa is a traditional northern Swedish dish which has been compared to hash.[1] The main ingredients are liver, heart, onion, pot barley, and often ground beef or minced pork, mixed with stock, black pepper, and marjoram. It is usually served with boiled or fried potatoes, pickled beetroot, and usually a fried egg.[2]

The dish plays a central role in the allegorical novel Pölsan (2002) by Swedish author Torgny Lindgren (1938–2017), in which two men go on a personal quest across postwar Sweden in search of the genuine Swedish "pölsa".[1][3][4]

The Norwegian and Danish word pølse means sausage and even if the two dishes don't look the same, the two words are related.[5][6] Pölsa is simply a traditional variety of sausage filling without any casing.[7]
