Naturally fermented, lightly salty dill pickles

September 3, 2015 by Food Polka

Growing up in Poland, I fell in love with homemade sour pickles – especially ones that were naturally fermented. The pickles sold in America are cucumbers preserved in vinegar. My idea of a pickle is a cucumber that’s been naturally fermented in a brine solution. The most common place to find them in the U.S. is at Jewish delis or overpriced foodie spots, but these places usually only give you one, or even just half of a pickle, so I’m […]

Sophisticated sauerkraut made in the privacy of your own home

July 6, 2015 by Food Polka

Sauerkraut is perhaps one of the most controversial culinary ingredients in the entire world. Either you love it or you hate it. I have never seen anything in between. Either you devour it or you don’t even look at it. That is the bottom line. The “gray zone” starts when it comes to making the kraut sour (btw, kraut is a German word for cabbage). The process of souring it can have many faces. This outwardly “simplistic” vegetable can be […]

Tomatillo, Jelapeno, Lime, Cilantro make a god damn good preserve

May 30, 2015 by Food Polka

Last March my mother reminded about my grandma’s 90th birthday in April. She thought that maybe I should think about sending her a special card or a little gift. So, since I am the biggest fan of hand made gifts, I decided to make something special for her. And… since I am into food I instantly thought that maybe I could make a really cool preserve that could be put in a jar and shipped to Poland. I don’t think […]

Big Lebowski is back with this White Russian Jello Shot!

March 14, 2015 by Food Polka

When I think of Spring Break, I think of jello shots. Although that may be what everyone longs for during a reckless college break party, I refuse to make the cliché jello shot that basics will no doubt, be downing. So, I decided to combine an American dive bar and Italian coffee bar tradition into one. I simply put an American classic famed by the Big Lebowski film into that old favorite jello shot. Dude, let me introduce the White […]

Black is the new green in this black olive appetizer

March 5, 2015 by Food Polka

I’m not a big fanatic of olives, but I always have a jar or a can of this popular delicacy in my kitchen. Why? For several reasons: 1) Almost every person I know likes olives. 2) They are cheap. 3) Don’t go bad fast and stored in a can or jar, always taste just as good. 4) They do not need a long time to process or cook. 5) They are the perfect accompaniment to other dishes like meat, pizza, […]
