Polish Recipes Potato Dumplings Ingredients: 1kg potatoes 250g potato flour Beef Roulade 3 eggs (Zrazy Wołowe) Black pepper Ingredients: Place mashed or ground potatoes in a large bowl. Add egg, salt and as much flour as necessary to form a smooth, cohesive dough. Don’t overwork the dough because it will toughen. Salt 1kg beef sirloin 1 onion 3 pickled cucumbers Put a large saucepan of salted water on to boil. On a lightly floured surface and with lightly floured hands, roll pieces of dough into 1/2-inch-thick cylinders. Cut at an angle into 1 to 1 1/2-inch pieces. Repeat with remainder of dough. 150g smoked bacon 3 tbsp margarine 4 tbsp oil Drop dumplings into the boiling water (in batches, if necessary, so as not to crowd) and return to the boil. Reduce heat and cook for 1 to 5 minutes (remove one with a slotted spoon to test). Using a slotted spoon, transfer cooked dumplings to a colander and drain. Dijon mustard Black pepper (milled) Salt to taste First, wash the meat and when dry, cut into thin slices. Flatten slightly with a meat hammer, then sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides. Lightly spread mustard on one side of the steak. Place 1 bacon strip, a strip of cucumber and a few onion wedges on each slice; roll up and secure with toothpicks. In a large deep pan, brown the beef in oil and margarine until it is no longer pink and then drain. Finally, cover the meat with water and bring to the boil. Once at the boil, reduce the heat and simmer covered, for about 80 minutes, if necessary adding more water. When cooked, remove from the pan, drain and serve. Royal Cheesecake Ingredients (for the dough) 3 glasses of wheat flour 300g butter 3 egg yolks 2 tablespoons of cocoa 1 glass of sugar 2 tbsp vanilla 2 tsp baking powder To prepare the dough (for the cheese layer) 1kg semi-fat curd cheese 200g butter 2 cups of sugar 2 tsp vanilla sugar 2 vanilla puddings 7 egg whites 4 egg yolks On a chopping board, sift the wheat flour with baking powder and the cocoa. Add the sugar, butter and egg yolks. Knead the dough and divide it into two parts. Place one half of the dough in the freezer so that it hardens slightly and spread the other half on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake the dough in a preheated oven (180 degrees) for about 15 minutes. To prepare the cheese layer First you will need to blend the cheese. In a bowl, mix the butter with sugars and yolks. Then add the grated cheese to the grated butter and continue to blend with a mixing machine. Pour in the dry vanilla puddings and mix well. Whip the egg whites and add to the cheese mixture with a spatula. Spread the cheese layer on the baked dough base until you have used the entire mixture. One the cheese mixture is piled up nicely; grate the cooled dough all over the top. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and place the cheesecake in for about an hour. After baking, leave the cheesecake to cool and serve when ready. theIMJIN SUMMER 2018 33
