Homemade Sausages (Domáce Klobásy)

Ingredients: 4 lbs pork, black pepper, 2 cloves garlic, paprika (sweet red pepper), red pepper, salt, pork intestines or sausage casings Prep Time: about 2 hours In this recipe, I show you how to prepare home-made sausage (klobása), the way my grandma makes them. I may be little biased, but there is nothing better than a real Slovak sausage! They are even better smoked (údené). Slovak sausages are pretty similar to the Hungarian variety. When I lived in Lancaster, California, I was lucky to be close to a real treasure: a little shack in the middle of the Mojave desert Read the Rest…

Chicken Paprikash (Kurací Paprikáš)

Ingredients: one whole chicken, half of a small onion, 2 small tomatoes, quarter of green pepper, two cups flour, one cup sour cream, salt, paprika, halušky Prep Time: about 2 hours Chicken paprikash is a dish that is not only truly delicious, but is also really cheap to make.
