Kotlet Schabowy (pork steak hammered flat and breadcrumbed) is in many ways the national dish.
Kotlet Schabowy is very similar to Austrian/German
Schnitzel. Easier to do than pierogi. Can also be done with chicken fillet. It's very tasty.
Different kinds of
soups are also very commonly served in PL, especially as an entrée (e.g. barszcz czerwony, rosół).
