>>6768787sausage sauce
A dish of cubed or sliced mild, smooth-textured Finnish Bologna-type sausage lightly fried in a skillet and simmered in brown sauce. The brown sauce may be prepared separately, or the sausage may be sprinkled with flour and topped with stock to produce a thickish sauce. The sauce is usually enriched with cream and served with cooked and/or fresh vegetables, usually boiled or mashed potatoes, a fresh salad, etc. Some versions of this dish may also use white, béchamel-type sauce mixed with the sausage, but the brown sauce version is more common and considered to be a cheap, quick alternative to "beef Stroganoff". Additional ingredients and seasonings like onion, tomato paste or puree, mushrooms, spices and herbs may be added to flavour the sauce. Wiener/frankfurter sausages are also used to make this dish.
