Menu from old Czech cuisine in the form of boiled potatoes and buckwheat groats baked in the oven with smoked meat and onions.

Ingredients:

1 kg of boiled potatoes 250 g pohanky – hail (not broken) 200-300 g smoked meat 4-5 pcs garlic cloves 1 tsp marjoram 1 pc large onion lard to grease the baking dish pepper oil salt

Procedure:

Prepare the buckwheat according to the instructions, or use this procedure for basic buckwheat preparation (you don’t need to season the buckwheat extra when you prepare it, just a little salt).

Scrape, cut and boil the potatoes.

Fry the onion and smoked meat in a little oil or lard and finally add the crushed garlic and marjoram.

Transfer the boiled potatoes to a larger pot or bowl and mash lightly.

Add the buckwheat, the mixture from the pan and season with salt or a little pepper.

Mix everything well and transfer to a greased baking dish.

Bake at approx. 200°C (180°F) for 15 – 20 minutes until the surface is firm and beautifully golden.

Recommendation:

Sour cabbage is recommended as a side dish.
