Goes great with pan-fried or grilled pork chops. Some potato pancakes would be a nice accompaniment, too. -- posted by Sue L

Polish Dill Pickles Made in a Crock

Tue, 06 Aug 2002 19:31:35 -0400

While my Polish grandmother canned the world's best dill pickles, she made "crock" pickles to use up the over abundance of cucumbers. They were our favorites. I make them in smaller amounts using the ratio of ingredients to the amount of cucumbers. Leave out the grape leaves if you can't find them. Prep time does not include fermentation time. -- posted by Lorac

Lekvar Prune Plum Filling or (Apricot)

Sun, 23 Feb 2003 20:06:33 -0500

Found this on-line requested by a fellow Zarrie needed for my Lekvar (LEHK-vahr) Kugel recipe #53841( I was able to find it canned. A thick, soft spread made of fruit (usually prunes or apricots) cooked with sugar. This Hungarian specialty is used to fill a variety of pastries and cookies. Lekvar can be purchased in cans or jars in most supermarkets. -- posted by ~Rita~

Marinated Beet Salad

Tue, 06 May 2003 20:03:00 -0400

A delicious salad for any occasion. If you are lucky enough to live where you can get fresh lettuce in December this would be fantastic on a Christmas table. Don't be squeamish about onions and raisins, they go really well together. I have seen similar receipts in Polish and Finnish cookbooks. -- posted by KookieMomster

Tomato and Pickled Dill Cucumber salad

Tue, 20 May 2003 20:00:55 -0400

lovely with most foods, hot or cold. I adore both tomatos and pickled cucumbers so this is an ideal salad for me. Adds a bit of tartness to most bland foods. best served chilled and freshly sliced. -- posted by Belle Vix

Polish Dill Pickles - Canned

Thu, 11 Sep 2003 19:59:52 -0400

My Polish grandmother didn't use a recipe because she could remember the ratio of salt to water and processing time. This recipe uses 1/2 bushel cucumbers. A bushel is a "volume" measurement, 1/2 equals 4 gallons or 16 quarts. I cut the top off a gallon milk jug to "measure" the volume of cucumbers I have to determine the amount of brine and pickling solution I will need. After experimenting with other recipes, Dill Pickles from "Treasured Polish Recipes" are as I remembered my Nana's - dill not sour or spicy. If you aren't into canning - try Nana's - Polish Dill Pickles made in a Crock#36431 Prep time INCLUDES over night brining. -- posted by Lorac

Rustic Country Loaf

Thu, 21 Apr 2005 20:48:24 -0400

After reading the posts in the Eastern European Forum and having my mouth water all day I went to the library. Being Polish I looked for any polish cookbooks I could find. There were not many on the shelf but found The New Polish Cuisine by Chef Michael J. Baruch. Now I can add even more recipes to my Polish cookbook here on zaar!! Thank you so much for creating the Eastern European Forum!!! -- posted by Lauralie41

Sweet Pickled Garden Vegetables

Thu, 21 Apr 2005 20:48:29 -0400

I love the pickled vegetables from the grocery store and this recipe sounds even better. This recipe comes from The New Polish Cuisine by Chef Michael J. Baruch and it is in the savory salad section. -- posted by Lauralie41

My Mom's Potato Soup

Mon, 18 Sep 2006 23:19:15 -0400

My mom, the Galicianer, makes a mean potato soup that every eastern European native (or wannabe) will love. Easy, hearty, nourishes the soul. -- posted by Sarah Chana

Mom's Bean and Barley Soup

Another heart-warmer, hearty soup from my mom. Kids love it. Tastes even better on the second day. -- posted by Sarah Chana

Polish Cranberry Dessert

Wed, 22 Nov 2006 13:33:55 -0500

This one is from "The Christmas Cookbook" by Poole. I haven't made it yet. A twist on cranberry sauce...sounds like cranberry pudding! It will be on my Polish Christmas menu this year. (I've since made this and it was good but very tart so I'm going to give the choice to increase the sugar.) Using orange juice is a good idea...I think I'll try that in addition to cinnamon next time I make it. ** Editing to make directions clearer. -- posted by Engrossed

Polish Twelve Fruit Compote

Wed, 22 Nov 2006 16:25:04 -0500

This is from a library book about Christmas in Poland. It sites: "The Culinary Arts Institute Polish Cookbook". I haven't tried it yet but I may this Christmas. Sounds like it has flavor and fiber! -- posted by Engrossed

Vegan Pierogi Dough

Fri, 07 Sep 2007 15:37:18 -0400

A wonderfully easy pierogi dough. Fill with onion and potatoes, cabbage, or anything else you can think of. We have even made dessert pierogi using apple pie filling! (Prep time includes 30 minutes for dough to rest). -- posted by raspberryjello

Polish Apple & Carrot Tzimmes (Passover)

This is an excellent recipe from Joan Nathan's classic cookbook, "Jewish Cooking in America". -- posted by blucoat

Polish Mushroom Barley Soup

Fri, 01 May 2009 03:06:35 -0400

From Mark Bittman's book, "The Best Recipes in the World". This recipe has only a handful of ingredients. If it were anyone except Bittman, I'd be worried that it meant a paucity of taste. However, it is Bittman, so although I don't expect this to be strongly flavored, I do expect it to be good and comforting. -- posted by Debbie R.

Jerrys Country Coffee for Hard Times

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 15:13:11 -0400

A recipe for our challenging economic times! This is coffee for when you cannot afford the real thing! Based on a recipe from Joan Ranson Shortneys book, How to Live on Nothing. My book is from 1971 and is still mostly relevant even today, except where she says to eat margarine! For me, this book is like a second chance at finally listening to my grandparents and great grandparents. :) For other country drinks, you may substitute barley, oats, or soybeans, as these were used during the Civil War; the roasted shells of acorns were used during WWII by the Germans (caution: do not use acorns unless you boil them first to remove their tannic acid). Im guessing on the quantity and will adjust accordingly after Ive made this. If you try this, please let me know what quantity worked for you. This recipe requires a coffee grinder, or some other equipment or method for grinding the kernels. I wrote the instructions using a standard 12-cup drip coffee maker, but this can certainly be made using other coffee brewing methods. -- posted by mersaydees
