anglikgirl 27 Mar 2007 / #1Hi, im a student of hospitality and catering at Brockenhurst college, England and my european cuisine teacher/chef has given me an assignment to research and cook a dish from two european countries. I have chosen Poland as one of these. Please can someone suggests a tastey polish dish which will display all my culinery skills. (The more complex the dish the higher the grade i'll get if i can get it correct) thank you in advance:)
OP anglikgirl 27 Mar 2007 / #4what is Pierogi in english? (because my polish consists of 10 words :) ) wild boar sounds good but can i get this in an english supermarket? (because my hunting skills are worst than my knowledge of the polish language :) )
bruno 2 | 48 27 Mar 2007 / #5Pierogi are pierogi, they are a kind of ravioli I guess, but much better tasting. Here is the pic pierogifactory.comYou could also try bigos bigosbar.com/home.htmAlso, take a look here: https://polishforums.com/food/bigos-recipe-1227/2/
Tamara 9 | 202 27 Mar 2007 / #6Pierogi are a sort of dumpling - not very sophisticated but good tasting - kind of like a comfort food.Can you bake something or does it have to be an entree?
OP anglikgirl 27 Mar 2007 / #7i can bake. i can do anything but if its not cooked in some way it will be difficult to make the pass grade. By the way thank u for your help so far everyone
Tamara 9 | 202 27 Mar 2007 / #8They make some really gorgeous tortes in Poland - some maybe 10 layers tall filled with cream and topped with fruit and nuts - super looking too.
OP anglikgirl 27 Mar 2007 / #9That sounds very tastey and i might try it at home but sorry i forgot to mention my dish has to be a main and savoury.
Tamara 9 | 202 27 Mar 2007 / #10Aha - ok - there is something called Zrazy - I hope I am spelling it correctly. They are thinly sliced beef rolled around a wild mushroom filling and then braised and a terrific sauce made from the braising liquid.
