Polish Cooking: Mizeria

VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vzy2l7aHOo8

Today I've posted a video about Mizeria! This is a very simple and refreshing salad that you can easily prepare at home if you have fresh cucumber and sour cream. If you also happen to have fresh dill - even better!

If you happen to be curious about the name, it comes from word mizerny, which means miserable (same etymology), pitiful, and it was apparently a joke in 17th century to call this salad like that. But it survived till our days.

INGREDIENTS (serves 2)

~200g cucumber

1 small onion

2 tbsp sour cream

salt

pepper

dill

PREPARATION

1) Peel the cucumber, slice and salt it

2) After couple of minutes, drain it

3) Dice the onions

4) Put all ingredients into a bowl, stir them together

Serve slightly chilled in separate bowls.

Happy cooking!



bon appetit
