Worldwide Food Tour: Poland

Potato-Cheddar Pierogi, Lubelskie Cebularze (onion and poppy seed rolls), and a nice Szarlotka for desert. The pierogi weren’t too difficult to make – and the filling was a nice balance of the starchy potato and the sharp cheddar cheese. The rolls were really good, but the choice of parmesan cheese in the recipe I sourced gave it a funky taste that I wasn’t sure meshed with the concept of the dish (Which I would make again, only with just onions and poppy seeds). The desset was a light apple cake that was barely sweetened – using the natural sweetness of the apples instead of sugar. It definitely lacked the expected ‘apple pie’ flavor but it did feel lighter and more clean.

Overall a good meal – and one that is appropriate to make during the winter when root vegetables and apples are the main ingredients.
