Polish traditional and contemporary cuisine 🇵🇱🥟🍎🥒🍅🥘

Spontaneous cooking today, sauerkraut and forest m

Spontaneous cooking today, sauerkraut and forest mushrooms pierogi. Delicious😍 Served with sauteed onions on one of my favourites old Pruszków plates.

Recipe: https://cookinpolish.com/forest-mushrooms-sauerkraut-dumplings/

Ingredients:

DOUGH:

2 cups all purpose flour + additional flour if needed
pinch salt
3/4 cup of hot water

FILLING:

600 g/ 1,5 lb sauerkraut
100g/ 4 oz dried wild mushrooms
1 onion
salt, pepper

For Forest Mushrooms & Sauerkraut Dumplings I make a simple pierogi dough. Basic recipe: flour, water and salt. Combine all and knead until you get an elastic dough. You can use a food processor with a hook to do it well and easy.

Place mushrooms in a pot, cover with water. Bring to boil and simmer for half an hour. Strain and chop once they are cool.

Place sauerkraut in a medium pot, cover with water. Bring to boil and simmer for about an hour. Strain and let cool down. Then chop or blend it in a food processor.

Chop an onion and saute on the butter. Combine mushrooms, sauerkraut and onion in the bowl. Add salt and pepper.

Roll out the dough on a table. Use additional flour underneath and on the surface, not to get stuck to the table.

Cut rounds, place a tea spoon of the filling in the middle and seal the edges to make a dumpling.

Drop pierogi into the boiling salty water. Wait till they come up to the surface, wait another minute and take them out.

Barley was so popular in last posts, so today anot

Barley was so popular in last posts, so today another type of it- hulled barley, which is bigger than barley. It is a whole grain type of kasza. It's full of vitamins ( vit. B, E, K, folic acid), minerals (zinc, silicon) and fiber.
Don't forget to rinse dry kasza before cooking!
I served hulled barley (in Polish: pęczak) with meat balls and pickled plums.
Meat balls recipe:
https://cookinpolish.com/meat-balls-in-dill-sauce/

Ingredients

0,5 kg/1,1 lb minced meat
half carrot
small onion
parsley
1 egg
half roll
milk
salt & pepper
1 cup sweet cream
3 cups chicken/ vegetable stock
bunch dill

Place meat in a bowl, add grated carrot, chopped onion & parsley, roll soaked in milk and egg. Season with salt and pepper.

Bring the stock to boil. Form meat balls and place them in the hot stock. Let them cook for 10 minutes.

Mix sweet cream with a cup of hot stock from the pot, then pour everything back to the pot. Let it steam without lid for 5-7 minutes, so that it got thicker.

Add chopped dill and turn the fire off.

After an hour knead a dough for several seconds and roll it out on a pastry board. Cut it along into 1,5 cm wide stripes. Wrap the mold with a strip of dough as presented in the picture. Start with a narrow end and at the wide end stick the dough together. Place them on the baking dish covered with baking paper. Bake for 10 – 15 minutes till golden in temperature 200 C / 390 F. Carefully remove horns from the molds. Let cool before filling with cream.
Cream preparation

Once cream is cool transfer it to the pastry bag and stuff horns with it.

Homemade cream horns vare the best within 2-3 days.

Farmer's potato and cabbage casserole recipe. Tom

Farmer's potato and cabbage casserole recipe.
Tomorrow in Poland is Grandmother's Day. This casserole is a dish I mostly link to my grandma Emilka. It's a budget dish that can feed the whole family. Other babcia Emilka's dishes were later replicated by my mom and sister, but this one is only hers 💚❤️

https://cookinpolish.com/polish-farmers-potato-and-sausage-casserole/

Ingredients

2 kg/ 4,4 lb potatoes
2-3 onions
0,5 kg/ 1,1 lb cabbage
2 carrots
0,5 kg/1,1 lb sausage
200 g/0,4 lb bacon
1 l stock
salt, marjoram, nutmeg

Peel potatoes and cut them thickly. Dice onions into rings, slice carrots, cut thickly cabbage.

Dice sausage and bacon. Fry them separately on the pan.

Place potatoes in a casserole pan, sprinkle with salt. Assemble layer of sausage and bacon – use half of them. Place a layer of cabbage, onions and carrots, and the rest of sausage and bacon on the top. Pour a stock to the pan, so that potatoes were covered with it. Season with some nutmeg and plentiful of marjoram.

Rosół for Poles is the best medicine, if you are

Rosół for Poles is the best medicine, if you are cold or get a flu, your Polish Mama would start making rosół, to take care of you in the best way she knows:)

Try rosół with drop noodles.
Kluski lane are easy to make, they will be great in other soups as well. You can prepare them in few minutes, so if you suddenly run out of pasta, you'd survive with this recipe:)

https://cookinpolish.com/rosol-and-drop-noodles/

Ingredients:

Rosół:

5-6 chicken wings
3 medium carrots
1 medium parsley
2 onions
2 cloves garlic
half leek- a green side, leave the white side for salad:)
4 balls allspice
2-3 bay leaves
a piece of dried forest mushrooms
salt, pepper

Drop Noodles:

2 eggs
5 tbs all-purpose flour
3 tbs water
pinch of salt

Peel vegetables, cut carrots into slices.

Toast the onion over the fire. I’ve got electric cooker, so I use a one of the burners to do it. I can be also done on the hot dry pan.

All vegetables, mushroom and chicken wings place in the pot, fill with cold water and put on the fire.

Heat the soup slowly, bring to boil and let it simmer for 2-3 hours without cover- then it will be transparent.

For kluski lane/ drop noodles:

Combine flour with salt and eggs. Add water. Stir all well, add extra tablespoon of water if needed. Batter should have consistency of thin pancake batter. Leave the batter for 2-3 minutes so that the gluten starts working, the batter will become more smooth.

In the meantime boil water in a pot. Add a pinch of salt. When it starts to boil – pour the batter into the water with a thin stream. Stir with a spoon. Let egg noodles come up to the surface and after few second take them out with a sieve.

Place them straight in the plate, them fill the plate with rosół- Polish chicken soup. Serve Rosół and drop noodles with parsley. Yum!

Zucchini pancakes recipe. Delicious served with easy garlic sauce.

1 medium onion
3 full tablespoons all purpose flour
2 eggs

Leczo - looks like it is one of the most popular recipes on CookINPolish.
Full of delishious vegetables with a flavor of kiełbasa, it is a great one pot dish. I make a big batch and we enjoy it for few days.

Recipe: https://cookinpolish.com/polish-leczo/

Ingredients:

2 kg red peppers
1 kg carrots
2 kg zucchini
1 kg onions
1 kg tomatoes
0,7 kg sausage
1 l tomato passata – tomato puree
salt, pepper, paprika powder, basil, oregano
2 tbs butter

Dice vegetables. Start with carrots, as they are the hardest and they need to be cooked the longest. Place carrots in a big pot, add water to cover them and cook on medium heat. Dice red peppers and fry them on hot oil, so that the peppers taste got deeper. Add sweet paprika powder and fry for 1 more minute. After that place red peppers in the pot.

Dice zucchini and add to the pot. Diced onions saute in the oil and mix with the rest of the vegetables. Dice and add tomatoes (peel them first). Add tomato sauce and seasonings: salt, pepper, basil and oregano. Dice Polish sausage and fry on the pan. Mix with vegetables. You can easily have vegetarian version of Polish Leczo, if you will skip this step. Vegetarian Leczo is also a great choice for Summer.

Cook for another 40 minutes. Once carrots are ready, you can turn off the heat.

At the end add 2 tablespoons of butter, I’m telling you, this is a magic ingredient of Polish Leczo;)
