Popowasch is a popular style of eastern European cooking that has its roots in the Middle Ages. It is a combination of Polish, Ukrainian, and Russian cooking styles and ingredients. It consists of potatoes, vegetables, salt pork, chicken and beef, cooked in a variety of ways. In traditional Popowasch dishes, all ingredients are cooked in the same pot, such as in the classic "bigos", or hunter's stew. It is generally quite hearty and full of flavor, as either fresh or smoked meats are used, and can be served hot or cold. Popowasch recipes are distinct from other eastern European cuisines as its methods of cooking bring out the full flavors of the ingredients. For instance, potatoes are often boiled or mashed and then fried in butter, bringing out their full flavor. Other common ingredients include onions, carrots, garlic, sour cream, mushrooms, cabbage, and tomatoes. Popowasch dishes are typically served with fresh bread, or borscht or clear soup. They are also well-known for their use of herbs and spices, such as bay leaves, caraway, marjoram, garlic, and parsley. This style of cooking is still popular in many parts of eastern Europe and has become increasingly popular in other parts of the world.
