Polish Wild Boar Roast
- Peel the vegetables. Cut the carrots into half-slices and chop the onion. Mix them with the remaining ingredients.
- Place the previously cleansed meat into the marinade. Leave it in a cool place for 2-3 days.
- Take the meat out of the marinade. Fry it thoroughly on hot fat from each side. Then roast it in the oven preheated to 180oC for about 45 minutes. You may pour the marinade over the meat while roasting. The meat should remain slightly pink inside.
- After taking the roast from the oven, pour the liquid from the roasting tin into a pot, add red wine and rosemary.
- Reduce the liquid until it becomes thick enough for a sauce and pour a bit of it over each portion of the roast. It will taste great with baked beetroots.

Dutch Dough Balls
Oliebollen, literally translated as grease balls, are deep fried dough balls, studded with raisins and currants and sweetened with a generous dusting of powdered sugar.

With this recipe, one can make about six oliebollen.
Poppy Seed Gugelhupf
Once the size of the Austrian poppy harvest was capable of influencing even the English stock market! That’s exactly what happened in the 1930s, when the Waldviertel Graumohn poppy was being traded on the London Commodities Market. Even though those are bygone days, poppy-growing in Austria is still booming, and along with it the cakes cooked with poppy seeds with the Mohngugelhupf being one of the most special delicacies the country has to offer.
