Hoof

Category: Culinary recipes

Kitchen: Belarusian

Ingredients
peeled potatoes	0.5KG
wheat flour	0.5 tbsp.
bulb onions	1 PC.
fresh lard	100 g
salt	taste
water	1 l.

Cooking method

• Grate raw potatoes on a fine grater, drain off excess liquid. Traditionally, the potato mass for this dish is not squeezed out, but then a lot of flour may be needed, therefore, if the potatoes are very juicy, feel free to squeeze the mass

• Add salt and flour to the grated potatoes. You need so much flour to make a dough that can be rolled

• Roll out the dough and cut it into rhombs with a side length of 2-3 cm.I have them much larger, but somehow I'm already more used to it.

• We bake the rhombuses in a frying pan (can be on a baking sheet) greased with fat or bacon for about 20 minutes (the lower side will brown, and the upper one will simply harden) at an oven temperature of 180C

• Cut lard into cubes, onion into half rings or rings and fry in a pan

• We boil water, add some salt and scald our hooves in it for 10-15 minutes.

• we leave the hooves out of the water with a slotted spoon, put the fried bacon with onions on top and serve to the table.

• Bon Appetit!

Note

The old Belarusian dish, where the name came from, is not known for certain, it is assumed that the dish somehow resembles an animal's hoof. Nowadays, very few people cook this dish, often the hooves are not scalded, but only baked, but for me personally they turn out to be tough, this is a matter of taste, of course, here you need to try what you personally like.

Thanks for the recipe! This, by the way, is a Polish dish too, I remember how the writer Khmelevskaya colorfully described it in her novels!

[Mechislava]

Mechislava, yes, the Poles also cook, only there the principle is different - their hoof is boiled, without baking. Thank you for your attention to the recipe.

V-tina, Tina, and the first stage is in the oven or is it in the pan ??

Tina, an interesting dish. Once I met some in the book, but did not even imagine what it was. Thanks for the educational program.

[Rita]

Rita, Ritochka, in the oven, in a frying pan - I mean, bake on it, before there were no baking trays and baking dishes, now I'll fix it to make it clearer



Angela, thanks, many recipes disappear over time, I want at least some of the old national recipes to be preserved

I have one Belarusian channel on cable, recently they also cooked hooves on it, in parallel in the studio and in the house of some grandmother from the west of Belarus. Boiled without baking, however, and served with fried mushrooms. I didn't remember the recipe, but now I know. You can cook)

Fotina, Sveta, yes, even in our small Belarus recipes differ depending on the area, in the west of Belarus the Polish culture and their customs had a great influence, the language ("mov") also has a significant admixture of Polish words.

Boiled without baking, however, and served with fried mushrooms.

it is very tasty, I personally like it even more than with baking, but you need to try it, of course - to each his own
