Kalops (swe.) or palapaisti/vatkuli (fin.) is a Swedish and Finnish beef stew that contains beef, onion, allspice, bay leaf, and other spices.[1] It is often served with boiled potatoes and pickled beetroot.
It was first described in a cookbook from 1755 by Cajsa Warg. The Swedish name of the dish is derived from the English word "collops", which means 'slices of meat'.[2]
