Ćwikła isn’t quite easy to pronounce so I’ve always just called it red beets, because that’s what is is. Buraki, in Polish simply means beetroots and this is a typical Polish condiment, served with roast or any kind of smoked meat or sausage. It is a must on the holiday table, regardless if it’s Christmas…

They are just as good for dinner if you make them without the berries and sugar. 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 tsp. baking powder 2 Tbsp. sugar 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. grated nutmeg…

Stuffed peppers are a Polish dish that I grew up with. Bell peppers stuffed with beef and rice and a sauce made with tomato soup (that was my mom’s way). This is my Italian version of stuffed peppers using cubanelle or “Italian frying peppers”. They have a slight kick to them and are thin walled.…
