I prepared THREE Slovak national dishes - did my VEGETARIAN Spanish...

Hello out there!

I've decided today to cook a typical slovakian lunch for my flatmates. It consisted of 3 dishes, all three very typical if not the most typical foods of Slovakia:

Apetizer - salty potato "pancakes" with garlic dip
Main dish - sheep cheese dumplings
Desert - Slovakian cheese

Preparations:

Well, the most important part was to go home several days prior to this event and bring all those typical cheeses etc ...Also, I kindly asked my grandma to cook that apetizer for me :D

Apetizer

Mashed potatoes mixed with flour formed in the form of a pancake and just baked (dried) in the oven. Dip is a mix of mashed garlic, salt and olive oil and you evenly spread it on top.

Main dish

I'm not gonna lie, I've bought the frozen dumplings in the store but they are basically made from almost the same mash as the appetizer (potatoes, flour) - just a lot mor fluid, then divided into tiny pieces and cooked. The main thing here is the sheep cheese though - it's called brynzda and it's typical for Slovakia. I've mixed it with cream and put on top of the dumplings. On top of this all goes a fried bacon but since my flatmates are vegetarian I've prepared some extra green garnish for them.

Desert

Another cheese loved by Slovakians as a snack. It's called Korbaciky and if you google it, you'll find it in many "funny" forms. Served with circles of cucumber.

Serving

Just a quick pic of guys, enjoying the food. Both of these dudes are cool guys, one just settled down after 20years of nomadic lifestyle and another one lives as minimalistic as it gets. I'll write a Flatmate Series where I'll talk with them about their experiences

Sorry for the shadow, but moving sun just because of the picture was not worth it :D

Fun fact

Also, I guess Innsbruck is one of not many places where you can enjoy lunch without the Tshirt in the garden, while watching mountains full of snow. I jut love it!

MY INTRODUCTION POST

Mother tongue version

Ahojte!

Dnes som sa rozhodol prezentovat trosku slovensku kuchynu a uvarit mojim kamosom z bytu (Anglican a Spaniel) typicke slovenske jedla.

Apetizer - lokse s cesnakom
Hlavny chod -bryndzove halusky
Dezert - korbacky

Pripravy:

Najdolezitejsie bolo ist samozrejme par dni pred dnesnym velkym dnom domov a priniest so sebou bryndzu a ine potrebne prisady. ...Taktiez som musel presvedcit babku, nech mi napecie lokse, lebo sam by som to isto nedal :D

Jedla vam popisovat nebudem, pretoze na rozdiel od anglickeho publika viete, co a ako :)

Stolovanie

Len rychla foto chalanov pri jedle. Obaja su supercool typci, jeden cestoval po svete 20 rokov a teraz sa prvykrat usadil a druhy zije maximalne minimalisticky zivot a naucil ma chodit vyberat jedlo z kontajnerov :) Casom planujem napisat Flatmate Series kde sa ich popytam par zaujmavych otazok na ich zivotne nazory atd.

Sorry za ten tien cez stol...presuvat slnko len kvoli jednej fotke sa nam nechcelo :)

Fun fact na zaver

Len som si uvedomil, ako velmi si uzivam tuto konkretnu vyhodu zivota v Innsbrucku - na jar clovek moze jest na zahrade obed bez tricka a zaroven sa pozerat na krasne zasnezene hory - popripade si tam ist rano zalyzovat

Foto som spravil dnes rano o deviatej po ceste do obchodu
