I was chatting with a friend of mine about cooking ….surprise…..surprise…; she was telling me about an interesting dish her family and friends really enjoyed.
She kindly shared her recipe, so I finally had a chance to try it out, and share it with you.
With Christmas Eve just around the corner, many Eastern Europeans will be making Varenyky (Pierogy, Perogy) for their Christmas Eve 12 course meatless meal.
Making them from scratch is an involved process, but totally worth the effort, since all the manufactured ones don’t stand a chance when compared to the real stuff….you will agree if you tasted them both.
This recipe has been in our family since at least the late 18oos. My great-grandmother was making these sauerkraut filled pyrizhky, she called “Kapusnyachky”,
Red Beets are not a very popular vegetable, but they have moved up a couple of notches during the past year.
There are many ways to use red beets, but for the Eastern European cooks, the ever famous Red Beet Borscht is one of the more popular dishes prepared from red beets. Red beets salads are very often used as a side dish with the main course meal, in many Polish and Ukrainian cuisines.
Did you ever have a moment when you set you mind on preparing something for dinner, and then you realize that you are short on the amount of the main ingredient?
