RECIPES
Lamb in an Herb and Nut Crust with Vegetables
Herb and nut crusted lamb served with crispy potatoes, eggplant and tomatoes.
Krokodylki
Krokodylki are my family's favorite spicy pickled cucumbers with chili and garlic: wrinkly, fiery, and hotter the longer they sit.
Fried (Green) Tomatoes
Green tomatoes pan-fried in olive oil until lightly browned and served over herbed feta with whole grain bread: a quick, tasty breakfast.
Paprykarz with Zucchini or Summer Squash
This is a quick and tasty dish. You can make it with regular sausage, bacon, or as a vegetarian version.
Lentils with Zucchini
This dish tastes great on its own or served with a good fish, e.g. monkfish fried in butter.
Grilled Eggplant Pâté
A wholesome, fiber-rich Mediterranean dish. Thanks to grilling, the eggplants don't need a lot of fat.
Tender Chicken in Mustard-Tarragon Sauce
Tender chicken breast simmered with carrots in a creamy Dijon mustard and tarragon sauce. Quick, easy and loved by kids and adults alike.
Lazy Gołąbki (Lazy Stuffed Cabbage Rolls)
An alternative for those who like gołąbki but don't like making them. Here the cabbage goes into the filling and you shape patties.
Botwina
I keep wondering how tastes can change so much over time. Not long ago, I couldn't even look at botwina.
Bulgur with Roasted/Grilled Vegetables
A great stand-alone dish for dinner or a light lunch, but also a side dish to go with, say, grilled meat.
Pasta with Zucchini and Smoked Tofu
Easy pasta with zucchini, smoked tofu and a chunky tomato sauce: a quick vegetarian dinner for two that even my daughters devour.
Chłodnik z Botwinki (Cold Beet Greens Soup)
This chłodnik is my idea of the perfect soup for a hot day. It's light, quick and delicate, and the color makes you want to dig in.
