Far from the Belarusian cuisine, people naively believe that a basting dish (it’s a machanka, it’s a macaque) is a kind of sauce for pouring second courses. Not at all! The basthole itself is a completely independent dish, in which it is supposed to dunk something tasty - starting with homemade freshly baked bread and ending with fresh or boiled vegetables. Moreover, what they dunk, it just acts as a side dish. For those who are interested in such an unusual approach - a recipe for bast dishes with pancakes. If you are too lazy to bother with them, you can bake pancakes or just buy soft and fragrant bread.
Classic Belarusian bast
The most correct and common bast with pancakes - the recipe is based on pork. Moreover, in addition to meat, you will also need lard, preferably fresh and streaked. Half of the meat is taken. The fat is cut into small sticks and fried in a dry frying pan to cracklings. Then the pieces of pork are put in the resulting fat and browned. All slices are taken out, and three home-made sausages are placed in their place (you can buy high-quality semi-finished products - still make them yourself long enough and troublesome). When the sausages become whitish, they are transferred to the already fried ingredients, and two chopped onions are poured into the pan. As soon as the onion becomes translucent, a full spoonful of flour is added to it, and after mixing - two glasses of milk. After boiling, all meat ingredients are returned to the dish, the dish is seasoned and seasoned, flavored with caraway seeds, and after ten minutes of stewing, a hearty and fragrant Belarusian delicacy in front of you on the table. A recipe for bast with pancakes each time will give a new taste, if you vary the flour component. For example, replace pancakes with buckwheat pancakes or potato pancakes.
