This classic Polish pork dish features tender, bite-sized pieces of pork cooked in a rich, lightly thickened gravy, infused with aromatic marjoram, bay leaf, and allspice. Onions are gently sautéed with the meat and flour, creating a flavorful base for the sauce that clings to each piece of pork.
Simple, comforting, and satisfying, this dish pairs beautifully with boiled potatoes, buckwheat, barley groats, or a side of pickled cucumbers or sauerkraut. It’s a perfect example of traditional Polish home cooking: hearty, flavorful, and made with straightforward ingredients that deliver maximum taste.
Ingredients
