Dumplings with meat are a traditional dish of Polish cuisine that embodies the comfort and warmth of family dinners. Their roots go deep into the history of Central Europe, where dumplings were considered nutritious and filling food. The tender potato dough, enriched with egg and milk, envelops juicy meat filling, creating a wonderful combination of softness and rich flavor. After boiling, the dumplings acquire a pleasant elasticity, while the aroma of fried onions and fresh herbs emphasizes their homely character. They are perfect for lunch or dinner and can be served with sauces, sour cream or simply fresh vegetables. This dish reminds us of the hospitality of Polish homes where every meal is a moment of joy and unity.
