About the dish

Jellied veal, or kalvsylta in Swedish, is a simple meat dish made with minced veal that is simmered in meat stock along with gelatin and seasonings. The jellied veal is then placed in a mold and cooled before serving. Traditionally served with other Christmas dishes on the Swedish Christmas buffet, kalvsylta is typically cut into slices and accompanied by beets, crackers, lingonberry jam, horseradish, pickled cucumbers, or mustard.
