My mom came from a Polish background, but she didn't make a lot of traditional Polish dishes. I think that part of that is because her family was ethnic Polish but lived in what was and is Belorus. She did make kielbasa and sauerkraut and also pork chops and sauerkraut. She made fabulous absolutely to die for stuffed cabbage and these cookies called (I can't spell it) zuharkies.
My sister found a recipe for the cookies in a Martha Stewart magazine and they were called bow-tie cookies. You cut the dough into strips, pull the ends through a slit in the middle and then you deep fry them and dip them into powdered sugar. They are wonderful.
Sometimes I miss my mom's stuffed cabbage so much I can hardly stand it. I've only once had some that came close to what she used to make and that was at a Polish restaurant in Montreal.
