Pippurikastike, or pepper sauce, is a creamy Finnish condiment often paired with meats like steak or pork. Its key ingredients typically include heavy cream, crushed black or green peppercorns, butter, and beef stock, with some variations adding garlic or a hint of brandy for depth. The sauce’s bold flavor comes from the peppercorns, which provide a sharp, spicy kick balanced by the richness of the cream. While Pippurikastike is a flavorful addition to meals, it is high in saturated fats due to the cream and butter, making it a less healthy choice if consumed in large quantities. However, the peppercorns themselves offer health benefits, such as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Moderation is key for enjoying this indulgent sauce in classic Nordic cuisine without compromising on health.
