Polish cabbage Lasagne

[Jaga]

I just prepared today Polish lasagne (called in Polish "lazanki"). It is time-consuming but it is also delicious. One has to prepare a pasta and also mixed it with the cabbage with bacon.

I will have a picture of lazanki and I will also try to post a recipe soon

from Wikipedia:

Lazanki arrived in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in mid-16th century when Bona Sforza, Italian wife of King Sigismund the Old, brought high Italian cuisine to the country. Unlike most Italian dishes in these parts of Europe, lazanki has survived until the 21st century and is still eaten today, although the long and cultural history of the dish has been largely forgotten. Stiff wheat, rye or buckwheat dough, rolled thin and cut into triangles or rectangles, is boiled, drained, and eaten with melted pork fat, vegetable oil, or sour cream. In Poland, they are often mixed with cabbage or sauerkraut and small bits of sausage and meat.

Let me try. One has to prepare the noodles by hand or by some broad noodles (like lazagne). But the last time I prepared my own noodles and they were delicious, it just takes a time.

here is a recipe for noodles:

300 g flour
2 small eggs
about 30-50 ml water
half of the spoon of salt

sieve the flour, add eggs, salt and water so that one could made a dough until firm which is not too sticky and not too dry. Divide into 2-4 parts and roll each piece into a thin sheet on a floured board. Leave on the clean floored rag until it would dry out a bit. After the thin pieces are dried roll it and cut with the knife into the pieces the size of lazagne maraconi.

Pour into the boiled salted water and cook until soft.

Preparation of the cabbage.

bacon - 100g
onion - 70 g
one medium or small cabbage
cumin, salt and pepper to taste

Cut the bacon into slices, add sliced into small cubes onion. Wash and slice cabbage into the slices of the width a bit higher than lasagne. Add cabbage and some water to melted bacon with onion. Steam in the open pot, add cumin, pepper and salt. Finally add the cooked pasta, mix it well - now lazanki are ready to eat

Smacznego!

Jaga...I must confess that when you first posted the post about Polish Lasagna I was thinking no way. (nothing is lasagna unless its true Italian in my book and using a sauce from a jar does not count either) When I saw the foto your recipe looks more appealing and something I would like to try. I see I am still a visual I guess.

I am not sure about other parts of Poland but in Krakow Polish lasagne is not served with cabbage. At least these dishes which I am offered. Instead there is chopped onion, boiled or steamed, whatever.
