Polish Your Valentine’s Day
Ahhh! Valentine’s Day! Mark and I don’t really celebrate it, but this can be a good reason to prepare a delicious meal for your loved one. A few suggestions for a Polish Valentine’s Day dinner coming right up! You can view the recipes by click on the photos:
First and very obvious choice: breaded pork chops
kotlety schabowe.
This is an obvious choice for every carnivore, men, woman or child—the Polish pork chop kotlet schabowy! Golden and juicy, it’s the food equivalent of a cozy bear hug. This quick meal can be paired with boiled, roasted or mashed potatoes, fries and a side salad.
A bit more advanced, but still quite easy: pork butt roast
pieczona karkówka.
This recipe may look like it’s at pro-level recipe but don’t worry, it may be a bit more time consuming but not difficult. Roasted pork butt goes really well with potato dumplings kluski śląskie and a cold beet salad.
If dumplings feel a bit too much work, go for a potato side – something to soak up that rich sauce.
Next up on the list: beef stew
gulasz wołowy.
Gulasz wołowy is one of those dishes that you can set up in a crock pot in the morning and it will be ready when you get home from work. Or, if you’re a fan of pressure cookers, use it for a quick meal (45 minutes will do). We often serve gulasz with a grain – like buckwheat or barley with a side of pickles.
Something for vegetarians: mushroom cabbage rolls
gołąbki z grzybami.
Gołąbki z grzybami is a great option for vegetarians as you’re not really feel you’re missing out. This dish is full of flavor and will satisfy even the most demanding eaters. They go great with mushroom sauce or a traditional cabbage roll sauce: tomato.
One of Mark’s favorite Polish meals: turkey in horseradish sauce:
indyk w sosie chrznowym.
This dish screams POLAND!! Creamy, delicately horseradishy sauce, soft and tender pieces of turkey make a really nice and satisfying combination. Serve with a side that will soak up the sauce, like drop dumplings and a veggie dish that will compliment the richness of the sauce: perhaps a leek salad.
Now it’s time for a dessert! How about an easy cheesecake
sernik.
This easy dessert won’t waste your time. Just mix, bake and decorate (if you wish). Strawberries will bring a nice Valentin’s Day accent.
Rich chocolate in a form of an easy bundt cake
babka czekoladowa.
An easy bundt cake that anyone can make with little effort, in no time with simple ingredients that you have at home. You’ll be able to impress her/him and not sacrifice time. Perfect for any occasion.
