Ingredient appreciation — what makes Kotlet Schabowy special

What sets Kotlet Schabowy apart is the handling of sour rye sourdough. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the rich and comforting result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

the Christmas Eve wigilia meal has strict traditional rules including twelve meatless dishes. The a home kitchen in winter atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had kompot fruit drink as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Kotlet Schabowy is the place to start.
