 | Klotski (Potato Dumplings in Chicken Broth) Jul 24th 2014, 14:16 This warming soup brings the summery flavor of basil to mid-autumn meals. Russian "kletsky" (pronounced as "klet-skee") is a word used to name the dish known also in Ukrainian and Belarusian cuisines as "galushky", in Italian cuisine as gnocchi, in Czech - as "knedliky" and so on. All of these dishes are flour made balls (sometimes also flattened into pillow shape) that can be generally referred as dumplings. Usually cooked in broth or milk they are popular in Eastern Europe. In Belarus and Poland they are often served with lean meatless soup or sometimes fried with onion and bacon. The main secret of dumplings is tasty broth and properly cooked dough. Soups can include combination of meatballs and flour or potato dumplings. Note: Good dumplings must be soft and fluffy. In order to achieve desired consistency, eggs and butter are added to the dough. Finely chopped herbs, spices, grated potatoes and sometimes even cereals are also added for special aroma, consistency and taste. | Rating: 0 Created: Jul 24, 2014 3:16:34 PM |

| | Honey Poppy Seed Roll - Bread Jul 24th 2014, 13:53 From ancient times, the collection of honey and poppy in Russia began on the same day - August 14 (which happens to be my birthday!), the day of the First Savior, first day of the harvest season. This day was celebrated with honey cakes, pancakes with poppy and honey, buns and pirogues with poppy seeds. Special pancake dipping was made of finely grinded poppy seeds and honey. If poppy seeds were sprinkled around the house on that day, house would be protected from evil eye for the whole year. Girls used to weave poppy flowers into their hair in order to make hair strong and beautiful. | Rating: 0 Created: Jul 24, 2014 2:53:46 PM |
