They are accompanied by various side dishes and sauces. Many dishes made from grains, vegetables, and dairy products can also be classified as main dishes.

Brown rice with mussels is an elegant and remarkably wholesome dish made from a minimal set of everyday ingredients yet delivering a restaurant-level impression. Brown (unpolished) rice is a source of fiber, B vitamins and trace minerals, and its slightly nutty flavor and pleasantly chewy texture pair beautifully with the briny taste of tender mussels. It's an ideal choice for anyone watching their figure and health without giving up gastronomic pleasure. Rinse the brown rice thoroughly and simmer in salted water for 30-35 minutes until tender. In a pan with olive oil sauté crushed garlic, add the mussels (fresh, frozen or canned), pour in a little white wine or broth and cook for 3-5 minutes. Combine with the cooked rice, scatter with fresh parsley and black pepper and finish with a squeeze of lemon. Proportions for 2 servings inside.

Meat zrazy with mushrooms and cheese in a skillet

Write a comment

Zrazy are stuffed meat patties — Eastern Europe's answer to a Scotch egg, but built around savory ground meat wrapped around a hidden filling. These mushroom zrazy hide a generous spoonful of buttery sautéed mushrooms and onions inside a tender ground beef and bread shell. Shaping is simple: flatten a portion of meat in your palm, mound the filling in the center, seal the edges and form an oval patty. Pan-fry 5-7 minutes per side until golden, then cover and finish for 5 more minutes. I'll share proportions for 8 zrazy, how to keep the meat juicy and a creamy mushroom sauce that pairs perfectly.

Stewed chicken with vegetables in a cauldron is an excellent everyday dish for the whole family that cooks in under an hour and doesn't require constant attention or hovering at the stove. The main advantage of a cauldron (or any heavy-bottomed pot) is the even distribution of heat, thanks to which the chicken braises in its own juices with the vegetables, stays tender and juicy and the finished dish takes on a rich flavor and aroma. It's an ideal all-in-one dinner — meat and side in one pot, which significantly simplifies the washing up. Cut chicken thighs or leg quarters into large pieces and brown in the cauldron with oil until golden. Add coarsely chopped onion, carrot, bell pepper, zucchini, potato, tomato, garlic and spices. Pour over a little water or broth, cover and braise over low heat for 40-50 minutes. Proportions for 1 kg of chicken inside.

Whole chicken baked in foil with radishes and lemon is an original and remarkably tasty home dish that lets you look at the familiar roast chicken from a completely new angle. Chicken is a fundamental dish for every home cook, which is why you should know how to prepare it in various ways and unexpected combinations. In this version the traditional ingredients are joined by fresh radishes, which become soft when baked and develop an interesting sweet flavor, plus lemon wedges for a fresh citrus aroma. Rub the whole chicken with salt, black pepper, garlic and olive oil. Place lemon wedges inside the cavity. Halve the radishes and arrange them around the bird. Wrap in foil and bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 60-70 minutes. Proportions for 1 chicken inside.

Potatoes with canned beef stew baked in individual clay pots is one of the most comforting Russian-style oven dishes — slow, gentle baking in covered ceramic pots transforms ordinary potatoes and a can of beef stew into a deeply flavored meal that tastes like it came out of a wood-fired Russian peach. Layer diced potatoes, sautéed onion and carrot and chunks of canned beef stew (with all its juices) into each pot, pour over hot water or broth, season generously and cover. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 50-60 minutes until the potatoes are tender and infused with the rich beef flavor. Proportions for 4 individual pots and which canned beef to choose inside.
