On a Specials Board at work we now have a spider crab tartar, awesomely presented with some poached quail’s egg. I’m not huge on crab, but shrimps I’d eat every day if I could. I got some creamy jalapeno sauce from work last night and made a starter for us this evening. I threw the shrimps into the boiling water for a minute, chopped them up when cooled, mixed with chopped avo, chopped coriander and good amount of jalapeno sauce, seasoned well and put into the rings. Served with a crispy Ryvita thingy, just for the texture. It’s getting some good reviews on Facebook. 🙂

Last time I had knedliki was years ago at home, when mum and dad went to Czech, shopping for various stuff and got them among other treats, that were difficult to get in Poland. Barbora got me a couple from her Czech deli, so this evening I made a nice, rich beef goulash, slightly spiced up with paprika and enriched with Guinness. I wanted the beef to fall apart, which it did after nearly 1,5 half of stewing, 2 onions,  a carrot and a handful of dried mushrooms did a nice job too. Knedliki themselves are quite bland, like a part- cooked bread roll, so they need a strong sauce to lift the dish. I served it with broccoli and tomato salad. Nice, warming and very filling.
