Polish Recipes

[autowasherfreak]

<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; font-size: large; color: #3366ff;">My mother's boss for over 25 years passed away at age age 82 on January 11.  During the mid 80's when I getting into computers, and electronic typewriters, he would give me recipes from the newspapers to type and print multiple copies for him. These recipes were usually Polish, Hungarian, or Slovakian. He had relatives in Slovakia, and he would tell me that he would be sending them to the "Old Country". For some reason I would save a copy of everything I printed for him, just in case he might need it. Well twenty some years later I still have the recipes, and I thought if anyone was interested in them I could scan and post them here. </span>

<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; font-size: large; color: #3366ff;">For example one of the recipes is called Holuby (Stuffed Cabbage), Bozie Milosti (Angel Wings), Studenina (Jellied Pigs Feet). If anyone would like these, I will be happy to post them here or email them.</span>

NO... no...  No jellied pigs feet....but the rest.... I would love to see.  What are angel wings?

 

[westingman123]

Yes, please!

Would love to try those! And what, pray tell, is wrong with pig's feet? LMAO Come on down, we've got tripe, as well.

Actually there is nothing wrong with pigs feet...I have eaten them...but the jelly part....  Here in Philadelphia we had something named pepper pot soup...not sure it is still made but   I loved it and it had pieces of  tripe in it...so it's all tasty once you know what your doing with it.

I like pig's feet, make them every now and then.  Don't know the actual name or spelling but it's like "galleleta".  I cook the pigs feet in the pressure cooker until they are very tender.  then you pull all the meat and skin off the bones and place it in a 9x13".  The you chop up a head of garlic and mix it all together then pour the liquid from the pressure cooker over it and chill.  Cut into 2x2" squares and serve with a sprinkle of vinegar and a good chewy rye bread.

 

I use either pigs feet or knuckles, In fact I have some in the freezer now may drag them out and make a batch.

 

Jim, thanks for the scans!  They seem more like Slovak rather than Polish, but they are quite close.

Zuchinni Bread

The Zuchinni bread recipe looks interesting and not a million miles from a similar recipe I have made several times with great success, and I dont even like Zuchinni! It makes a lovely sweet moist bread, so this one should be well worth a try.

Angel Wings

This is something my Polish grandmother made.  The recipe provided agrees with how I remember it.  The name "Bozie Milosti" could be Polish, "Bozie" is a possessive meaning "God's".  The name we called these by was different. I don't know how to spell it other than it began with "ch".  Phonetically is sounded like "hroose-cheeky".

@nurdlinger

Chrusciki is the word you're looking for.  We called them "bow ties".  So good!

Thanks for posting these

I loved looking at these recipies. As a Polish boy myself, we traditionally make stuffed cabbage ("golabki" in Polish) in the fall when giant heads of cabbages can be found at the farmer's markets. While we don't put sauerkraut in the stuffed cabbage, we do use a two-to-one ratio of ground pork to ground beef. We also bake the golabki in, what else, Campbell's tomato soup.

At Easter, we make the angel wings ("chrusciki" in Polish). The dough is very similar to the recipe you posted - and we fry them up in lard and then dust with powdered sugar. Not exactly a health food, but they are so light they melt in your mouth....enjoying a few of them won't kill you.

having a brain fart here at the moment.. what are the Polish donuts that come out around Easter

This thread just reminded me that a Polish friend of mine is supposed to be getting me 3 doz. homemade perogies from one of his old neighbor ladies who makes them on the side for some extra money.

being full blooded Russian....I am acustomed to these recipes all too well....and they are great....stuffed cabbage by any other name is still the same.....delicious........Mom does alternatives to Holubky, in a hurry, rather than rolling the meat mixture in cabbage, she would layer the meat and cabbage like a lasagne in a deep dish pan, and bake until done....also beef, pork, and veal as in a meatloaf mixture was used

here's a pop quiz......we call all the women (Mom, Aunt, Grandmom) Studda Bubba.....who knows what that means?

I don't know much of the language, we had trouble in school with 2 languages, since Russian wasn't taught, so many words were kept to a minimum at our house, but I would have loved to have known it...
