Ukraine

I was not looking forward to eating from Ukraine as the food in this region is typically stodgy and meaty. But then I discovered that the ubiquitous Chicken Kiev is of course, from Kiev! (The capital of Ukraine.) I stuffed chicken breasts with chopped chicken and garlic butter, crumbed them, quickly fried them then finished them off in the oven. We served them with mashed potato and fresh beans. Carter loved the dinner. Niamh loved it delicious, mum agrees.we all loved it. dad has not had his yet. Niamh cleared her plate! For dessert we had Varenyky, which are little dumplings, stuffed with fresh strawberries and boiled. We served them with the traditional creme fraiche, and other sweet sauces. Niamh liked chocolate sauce, Mum and Carter liked Creme Fraich and maple syrup, while noone really liked the jam. These were good! We give the Ukraine 2 thumbs up.
