Latvians, our southern neighbours, celebrate the 92nd anniversary of an independent Latvian Republic today. I thought it's a great opportunity to blog about one of the best-know Latvian dishes (at least here in Estonia) - a pork stroganoff that gets its name from historical Courland region. While boeuf stroganoff is a dark beef stew, then Kurzeme stroganoff is pale (colour-wise, not taste-wise) and just as delicious, if not as sophisticated. Excellent autumn and winter dish that's best served with fried or mashed potatoes. Kurzeme stroganoff (Kurzeme strooganov) Serves 4 to 5 400-500 g pork, cut into this strips (stir-fry pieces are excellent) 1 large onion, chopped 50 g smoked bacon, cut into small pieces 1 pickled cucumber 1 Tbsp plain flour a cup or a-cup-and-a-half of hot beef stock 100 g sour cream or creme fraiche salt and black pepper fresh parsley, chopped (optional) On a hot pan, fry the bacon until golden, then add the onion and pork and fry until the meat changes colour (remember, Kurzeme stroganoff is a light sauce, so there's no need to achieve a perfect Maillard reaction here and brown the meat all over). Stir in the flour, cook for a minute or two, then add the hot stock. Simmer on moderate heat until the meat is cooked (the cooking time depends on the cut you use - pork loin cooks very quickly, obviously). Cut the cucumber into thin strips, add to the sauce along with the sour cream. Simmer for another minute or two, then season to taste and serve.
