Traditional Slovak Cuisine


Traditional Slovak foods concentrates heavily on meat (particularly pork), potatoes, cheeses, dumplings, and rich sauces. The most popular vegetables, other than potatoes, are cabbage, usually fermented to become sauerkraut, onions, garlic and occasionally mushrooms. Frying, boiling and steaming are important cooking methods in Slovakia. Some of these dishes pictured have green garnish, this is a modern adaptation.
