Polish Split Pea Soup Inspired by Military Field Kitchens 🪖🫛

December 29, 2015 by Food Polka

This is the ultimate Polish soup recipe. The soup is called “Grochówka” and is made from dried split peas and a few other typical Polish soup ingredients. If you drive across Poland, you will notice roadside stands and food shacks in the woods inviting you to have a bowl of the “Grochówka Wojskowa” or “Grochówka Polowa”, which translates into the “Military Split Pea Soup”. Stop by, and you will most likely end up with something really tasty. Something very similar […]

The springtime dinner ala Food Polka

June 10, 2015 by Food Polka

What the springtime in Poland taste like? It tastes like a new vegetable garden. It tastes like tiny, creamy new potatoes boiled with the skin on, tossed in fresh butter or buttermilk, and topped with fried, runny yolk egg. It tastes like fresh, chopped dill. It tastes like miniature, pale but the sweetest baby carrots and fresh green peas. This is the only time of the year when you can get all these flavors and combine them into one dinner […]

April 16, 2014 by Food Polka

In December, I mentioned in my Navel Orange Pancakes post, that I always try to use seasonal fruits as creatively as possible for a variety of purposes. I thought that by April Navels would be gone but because of the dry and warm winter we had here in California this year, they are still available. So today, I am going to be using Navel oranges once again, and this time the oranges will be used to make a super aromatic […]
