Vepřo-Knedlo-Zelo / Pork Roast with Dumpling and Sauerkraut

Posted on by One comment

Vepřo-Knedlo-Zelo   Pork Roast

 

This dish truly represents the Czech cuisine, and has been categorized as the
“National dish”.
Czech dishes are usually created and served by combining meat with some kind of sauce, and a side dish, (dumplings, potatoes, rice or pasta).
In this case  this dish is a combination of Pork Roast, Sauerkraut and Dumplings.
There are different kinds of dumplings, and “Bread dumplings” best compliment this specific dish.
To save time, it’s better to work on making everything at the same time.  Starting with chopping the onion, enough for both the roast and the sauerkraut. Than move on to the roast.  Once the roast is safely in the oven, make the dumpling dough. And when the dumplings are rolled into shape, they have to rest for a little while, so here is your opportunity to get the sauerkraut going.

Ingredients
Servings: crapes
Units:
Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl combine milk, sugar, salt, and vanilla
  2. Mix with wire whisk and start slowly adding flour, mix well till the dough is smooth.
  3. Preheat frying pan, spray with nonstick spray, and pour in thin layer of dough. Depending on the size of your pan, make sure the dough covers the whole area. Once you pour in the dough lift the pan and in rotating motion of the pan, let the dough run to the sides .
  4. Wait till the top of the dough turns yellow and with the help of a knife lift the corner of the crape ,and check if ready. What are you looking for is lite brown spots.
  5. Turn the crape over.
  6. when done stack the crapes on top of each other an cover with foil.
  7. Prepare the filing. In a mixing bowl place the cream cheese, add the sugar and with fork work the sugar in .
  8. Add the yogurt, mix well. Set aside.
  9. Cut washed strawberries in to slices. Reserve half of them whole for topping, and the rest smash with fork and 2 tbsp of sugar (you want pieces not sauce) .
  10. To finish the crapes, take one piece, place it on a plate, spread thin layer of jam on the whole crape, spoon out cheese sauce right in the middle, top with spoon full of mashed strawberries.
  11. Now fold one end over the center, and the other over the first. Top with sliced strawberries and finish with large spoon full of cool whip.
Recipe Notes

I use the electric grill to make these. You can cook 3 crapes at a time an be done faster. These crapes would be served as  a desert,but if you want to serve them with a soup use just jam or yogurt instead of filling. IMG_5721

Nuttella (hazel nut spread) with bananas and cool whip is also a great way to serve crapes.

Ingredients
Servings: Koláče
Units:
Instructions
  1. Toppings required for this recipe are: Poppy seed filling, cream cheese filling, and plum sauce filling. Make these toppings in advance and refrigerate.
  2. Melt butter in the microwave and set aside.
  3. Warm 2 cups of milk, and pour one cup in the bowl, add pinch of sugar, and yeast. Stir with your finger and set aside.
  4. In a dough mixer, place flour, sugar, yolks, lemon zest, salt, melted butter, yeast mixture, and rest of the milk.
  5. Mix the dough and if sticky add more flour. Dough shouldn’t stick to the walls of the bowl. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rest in a warm place.
  6. Koláče are usually round shape but size are many. From 2 inches to 16 inches. The technique of decorating larger shapes can be more difficult, but definitely more striking.
  7. After about an hour, empty the bowl on a floured surface, divide the dough into eight even pieces. Roll each piece into a thin circle like pizza.
  8. Place your desired toppings in Ziplock bags, cut a small corner off, and twist the bag around the filling.
  9. Place the two of the rolled out pieces on a greased cookie sheet.With your finger create an edge.
  10. To decorate the Koláče, hold the bag with filling in both hands and start squeezing the filling on the dough. Create your own design, by switching different fillings. The easiest way to do this is, if you start ½ inch from the edge, and trace the shape of the circle with your first filling, and work your way to the center. You may also decorate with raisins and almonds(boil almonds for 5 minutes and than peal the skin off, cut in half).
  11. Preheat the oven to 350°. In a cup beat one egg with 2 tablespoons of water and brush the egg wash on the edges of the dough. Bake for 20 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar when cool.
