Kroppkakor is a Swedish dish that is mainly eaten in the South regions of Sweden, Öland, Gotland, Småland and Blekinge. It is traditionally served with pork belly, lingonberries and browned butter. YUM! If you are vegan or vegetarian, exchange the pork belly to mushrooms, tempeh or tofu, it will be equally delicious!
