Something from Transylvania because its that time of year. Székelyalmás (Pork with apples and cider cream) Lightly brown sliced pork loin in olive oil and butter http://s1293.photobucket.com/user/gracoman/media/Browning%20the%20Pork%20Loin_zps1xmmzjkl.jpg.html">  http://s1293.photobucket.com/user/gracoman/media/Other%20side_zpsjpsnlez4.jpg.html">  Remove the pork, add onion, minced fresno chili pepper (Holland was not available), sliced tart apples, and cider. Hard or regular. I used Samuel Smith's hard cider. Reduce http://s1293.photobucket.com/user/gracoman/media/Reduce%20the%20hard%20cider_zpsgus0wnfz.jpg.html">  Add chicken stock, cream, Dijon mustard, and marjoram. Its a Saxon thing. http://s1293.photobucket.com/user/gracoman/media/Add%20cream%20stock%20and%20spices_zpshceiw2sh.jpg.html">  Add the pork back in to fully cook. http://s1293.photobucket.com/user/gracoman/media/Pork%20With%20Apples%20And%20Cider%20Cream_zpsppq9pbqy.jpg.html">  Serve over cooked rice. This is a top self restaurant quality dish that is pure peasant food. It is remarkable. So remarkable I forgot to make the Romanian polenta with feta and sour cream. |

I finally got around to making the Mămăligă Cu Smăntănă (Romanian Polenta With Sour Cream) Mămăligă is a Romanian staple. Mămăligă Cu Smăntănă or polenta with sour cream is the most flavorful way to serve it. Mămăligă Cu Smăntănă with Feta takes it one step further. It is awesome http://s1293.photobucket.com/user/gracoman/media/Romainian%20Polenta_zpsthkdgcnp.jpg.html">  Mămăligă Cu Smăntănă served with leftover Székelyalmás http://s1293.photobucket.com/user/gracoman/media/Polenta%20with%20feta%20and%20sour%20cream_zps7ekrlgjj.jpg.html">  I had my doubts about this polenta made with milk and feta cheese. And sour cream? Well, I have no doubts about this dish now. It is filling and delicious. Like all polenta  |

Very nice polenta, G ~ I assume that the feta is a sub for a similar, local cheese? Either way, I am guessing that the combination makes for a really delicious meal ~ ------------- If you are a visitor and like what you see, please http://foodsoftheworld.activeboards.net/registration_rules.asp?FID=0" rel="nofollow - click here and join the discussions in our community! |
