Millet Stir-Fry with Walnuts and Bear Garlic

May 2, 2022 ~ jarmilascooking ~ Leave a comment

Springtime brings fresh herbs to our forests and meadows. Many of them are edible and we not only use them to flavour food, but also cleanse our bodies and boost our immune systems after winter. Wild garlic, or bear garlic (medvedí cesnak), as we call it in Slovak, appears in our latitudes towards the end … Continue reading Millet Stir-Fry with Walnuts and Bear Garlic

Braised Rabbit Thighs with Bear Garlic and Halushki

April 17, 2019February 26, 2020 ~ jarmilascooking ~ 2 Comments

This recipe is a reminder of the summers we spent at our grandparents' house in the south of Slovakia - a warm, sunny region with rich soil and a long history of farming. There was a farmyard in between the house and a large back garden, where we could watch and help care for pigs, … Continue reading Braised Rabbit Thighs with Bear Garlic and Halushki

Bear Garlic Pesto

May 8, 2017April 29, 2020 ~ jarmilascooking ~ 1 Comment

I'm well-stocked with bear garlic right now. Two of my friends have brought handfuls of the herb straight from their gardens, the bright green leaves still glistening with raindrops when they came.

I introduced our famed cheese in the post on Bryndza Cheese Sticks last year. With this year's sheep farming season in full spate and some fine weather over the last month, our mountain meadows have turned into luscious pastures, so we are getting fresh supplies of bryndza cheese again. The May bryndza, as we in Slovakia call … Continue reading Bryndza Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms

Yellow Pea Soup with Paarki

May 25, 2015October 9, 2019 ~ jarmilascooking ~ 1 Comment

It's cold again with temperatures down at 14ºC, which is not that bad for May if it weren't soaking wet too. It's been pouring down since the morning and the skies are still heavy with bags of rain. Time for a bowl of warm, reassuring soup perhaps? Let's cook it up! Before we start checking … Continue reading Yellow Pea Soup with Paarki

Bear Garlic Soup

April 28, 2015July 30, 2019 ~ jarmilascooking ~ 4 Comments

Spring has made a full, undeniable appearance at last! It's not only in the air, it's all around this little country. I feel a new rush of life throbbing in the grass, singing in between open windows, coming out of nooks and crannies of our concrete blocks. Trees have come out in all shades of … Continue reading Bear Garlic Soup

Cookbooks

A Taste of Slovakia series is much more than a collection of traditional Slovak recipes. It's a colourful journey into this small country's culture, the customs that evolve around cooking and eating, as well as history of some typical ingredients.
