Kotlety schabowe (Pork Schnitzel)

When you ask a Pole about Polish cuisine and its signature dishes there will always be a number of commonalities. Pork schnitzel, kotlet schabowy as we know it, is one of those dishes and has been a staple in all Polish homes. When I desire a taste of nostalgia, this is what I make.


Ingredients:
  • 4 boneless pork chops
  • 2 large eggs
  • salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika
  • breading of choice (I use coconut flour, regular breading will do)
  • frying oil (I use coconut oil)

You will need a tenderizing mallet, a gallon ziplock bag, and a frying pan.

Tenderize the pork chops on both sides and put in the baggie. In a small bowl, mix together the eggs and spices and add to the pork. Leave it marinating in the fridge for at least 3 hours. When ready to eat, bread both sides of each pork chop and pan-fry it until each side is a nice golden color.

Traditionally, it is served with mashed potatoes and sauerkraut, but the sky is the limit here. 

Enjoy!

Eggroll in a bowl

A friend of mine was doing a cooking challenge and was looking for something that's easy to cook, that will reheat quickly, and that tastes great. When she showed me this dish I fell in love and cooked it as soon as possible. It's easy, delicious, and I can't stop eating it when I make it.

Ingredients:
  • 1 lbs raw sausage of choice (I buy Sprouts' green chile chicken sausage)
  • 1 bag of Cole slaw mix (at least 16oz or more)
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tbs grated ginger
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce of choice
  • green onion, chopped


You will need a large frying pan or a wok.


  1. Brown the sausage in the pan while making sure it's nice and separated.
  2. Add garlic and ginger, and stir until it all crystallizes.
  3. Add the Cole slaw mix and saute until the cabbage has softened to your liking. 
  4. Add soy sauce, toss it around to cover everything, and remove from heat.
  5. When serving, sprinkle a whole bunch of chopped green onion as garnish.

Enjoy!
