Ok, so I know this is a crafty blog with a slight sewing lean, but I figured that crafters still have to eat- and I have the perfect yummy recipe to share!
Now, as you may know from my introduction-to-me post, I have Polish family roots. What this means is that I cook and eat great food, and a lot of it at that. Some of it is just so divine that it must be shared with the big wide world- like this Polish Cucumber Salad (known as Miseria in Poland).
This is a very simple recipe, and it takes no more than 10 minutes to make. It feeds four as a side, although in my house we could eat a bowl each! I would love to know how you go making it, so make sure to post a comment if you give it a go.
WHAT YOU'LL NEED
1 large Continental Cucumber
1/2 cup of Cream (I used Vegan non-dairy creamer, a mind-blowingly delicious alternative available at Jewish Supermarkets)
1/4 cup of White Vinegar
3 tbsp of Brown Sugar
Salt and Pepper
WHAT TO DO
1. Peel and Slice the Cucumber, then lay it out on a chopping board and sprinkle it with salt and pepper.
2. Put the cream, vinegar, sugar and a dash of salt and pepper into a cup and whip lightly with a fork.
3.Place the cucumbers in a serving bowl and mix the cream combination through.
4. Enjoy and try to share!

This sounds SOOOO good! I'm a huge tzatziki fan so I bet this would be right up my alley.
Sounds yummy! I've got a Polish friend I'll try it on. Thanks.
Thanks Rachel and Clair! I hope your Polish friend enjoys it. It always reminds me of my childhood and all of the wonderful food that comes with growing up Polish.
mmmmm...that looks so yummy!
That looks very unusual, but considering I like all the ingredients on their own, maybe I will have to trust you and give it a go LOL.
PS Good to see you have signed up for the snailblazer swap, they are such fun!!
Yum! That really takes me back to something my nana used to make. She was not Polish, but used lots of vinegar and cream in her cooking! Both my daughters love cucumber, so I am going to give your recipe a try. Congrats on your lovely new blog too
ahhh! So that's why my Grandmother makes that dish! I always knew there was Polish ancestry in my line somewhere but this proves it. Grandma makes hers with mayo instead of cream though. New World twist on an Old World dish.
Hi, I'm Polish and I haven't eaten Mizeria with vinegar and brown sugar:) I have to try this!:)
Me too, I haven`t eaten Mizeria with vinegar and brown sugar, but I`ll try :)
I`m from Poland :)

I make a version of this too. We use sour cream. Yes, it is delicious!
