How to Cook dishes from the Czech Republic
The
Czech Republic
is a landlocked country in
Europe.
The country's cuisine has been very much influenced by that of its neighbors,
but also has its own distinctive elements and dishes too.
Czech cuisine tends to emphasize meat dishes,
especially pork, but also beef and chicken, and sometimes
duck,
goose, rabbit or
wild game.
For the most part, probably because the country has no coastline,
fish dishes are rare - the exception being freshwater fish such as
trout or carp, the latter of which is usually eaten
Christmas.
Here are some popular Czech recipes and dishes:
- Bramboráky (also known as
"cmunda", "vošouch", "strik" or "striky")
- Fried pancakes made out of grated potato.
- Knedliky - Knedliky are dumplings made from potato, or wheat flour and stale bread.
They are cooked by boiling, then sliced before eating. They are generally eaten as a side dish
with other foods.
- Smazený sýr - A thick of slice cheese that is coated with bread crumbs and then
deep fried. The dish is usually eaten with tatarská omácka, which is the Czech
version of Tartar sauce.
- Svícková na smetane - Roast beef served with dumplings.
It is covered with a thick sauce containing cream, carrots and parlsey,
and usually served with
a spoon of cranberry compote and a slice of lemon.
- Utopenci - Pickled bratwurst sausages.
- Veprová pecene s knedlíky a se zelím
("Vepro-knedlo-zelo" for short) -
Roast pork with dumplings, and fresh cabbage or sauerkraut.
In Bohemia, sauerkraut is generally used, whereas in Moravia either fresh cabbage or sauerkraut with sugar
is used.
Here are some popular Czech desserts:
- Koláce - A bread-like pastry filled with cheese or fruit,
- Ovocné knedlíky - Fruit dumplings.
They are made by coating pieces of fruit with potato dough and then boiling.
Many different fruits can be used to prepare the dish, and it can be eaten
as a main dish or a dessert.
At Christmas and Easter,
plum dumplings are particularly popular.
- Qaghaq ta' l-Ghasel - This Maltese recipe is a
light pastry ring made with honey or treacle. It was originally only eaten
at Christmas, but nowadays
tends to be eaten all yexar round.
- Vánocní cukroví - A type of decorated cookies
that are eaten during the Christmas
period.
- Vánocka - This is a cake that is popular during the
Christmas period.
It is made with eggs and butter, and contains raisins and almonds. Lemon rind and nutmeg
is also used to flavor the dough. The cake is traditionally made by preparing braids of
the dough, and then stacking them, and then cooking it.
