Svíčková is considered to be one of the most favorite Czech dishes. This beautifully balanced ,creamy sauce well compliments the roast and dumplings. The acidity from lemon juice and additional spoon full of cranberry sauce, brings it all together. It could be a little bit time-consuming but sure worth the effort.
