Moravský vrabec (moravský vrabec)

A typical dish from Moravia: a roasted, golden slice of pork served with knedlík (bread dumplings) and sauerkraut. Its name means "Moravian sparrow", a nod to the little pieces of meat that come off the bone.

Instructions

  1. Cut the meat into 1 cm slices, season with salt and pepper, then brown them for 3 minutes per side in lard in a large frying pan.
  2. Add the sliced onions and garlic, then the well-drained sauerkraut with the cumin, and simmer covered for 30 minutes over low heat.
  3. For the knedlíky, mix the flour, baking powder, egg and lukewarm milk until you get a soft dough and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  4. Fry the diced stale bread in a little lard, then fold it into the dough with a pinch of salt.
  5. Shape two large logs, place them on a damp cloth and cook them for 20 minutes in gently simmering water, covered.
  6. Slice the knedlíky, arrange them with the meat and sauerkraut and sprinkle with paprika.

Variations and tips

Version without knödel. Serve the meat with boiled potatoes, which is simpler to make.
