A small open-faced pie with a rye-dough crust filled with mashed carrot and potato, sweetened with honey and topped with caraway; a Suiti minority specialty.
Sklandrausis is the dish of Latvia's Suiti minority, a Roman Catholic community in northwest Latvia (Kurzeme) whose food traditions remained distinct under centuries of Lutheran rule. The pie was registered as a Traditional Speciality Guaranteed (TSG) product by the EU in 2013, the first Latvian dish to receive the designation. The rye-dough crust and the carrot-potato filling reflect Kurzeme's root-vegetable economy. Centrāltirgus and Kalnciema markets are the easiest places to find sklandrausis baked the traditional way.
