Author Notes
This recipe was a staple growing up since we're from Eastern Europe. Mom always made this with pork. Side dishes MUST be potatoes and a cucumber salad.
This cucumber side dish is so wonderful that I make it with other things and people always ask for the recipe.
It's simple and delicious and even good for entertaining.
For the cucumber side dish: grate 2 peeled cucumbers and
add apple cider vinegar (1/4 cup), 1T sugar and 2T water. Let it marinate a few hours and then drain most of the liquid away. Adjust seasoning.
Believe me this is great with anything. —blanka.n
