Hopdovody and pork chop in paprika sauce
Another Food post! When you look at the picture, you can see the typical HOPDOVODY (translated as ‘jump in water’). They are actually made on the same base as when making a bread, only – instead of baking the dough, you make small balls with a spoon or use a hopdovody-tool and drop the dough balls in boiling water. Together with the pork chops and paprika sauce, a filling great meal! Mother in law tip: the balls sink to the bottom of your cooking pot, when they float on top, they are ready!
Funky Turkey Surprise Rolls
HEAVEN… a beautiful thing! For me, being close with family, good weather and … Fantastic Czech Food!The coming forthnight, I’ll be bringing you the cooking art of my mother in law. Lucky me, my wife Katerina has her cooking skills after my MIL. So read and look at the mouth-watering pictures.
Today, I’ll introduce you to the Funky Turkey Surprise Rolls. I named them this way, because they look like ordinary turkey, but when you open them up, and by every bite you go further, different ingredients and colours pop up!
What’s in there: smoked ham, mustard, pickles, Paprika and other ’salad-like’ stuff, scrambled egg, pepper and salt, cheese. All of this is put on a Turkey breast and then rolled and stuck together with a couple of toothpicks. Together with some Basmati Rice and a sauce based on onion, soya-sauce, herbs and then thickened with flour, this was a divine dinner.
I hope you are at least a bit jealous?
I’ll keep you posted!
