Machanka is originally a Russian dish that's been adopted as part of the Belarusian national cuisine.
Ingredients:
225g stewing pork
225g cured pork sausage
100g salt beef
2 tbsp butter
240ml beef stock (or pork stock)
2 tbsp beef or pork stock
1 onion, chopped
1 tbsp flour
240ml sour cream
2 bay leaves
salt, to taste
Method:
Cube the pork, beef and pork sausage. Add the butter to a pan and use to fry the onion, pork and pork sausage until well browned. Meanwhile, fry the salt beef in a separate pan. Combine the salt beef and pork along with the 240ml stock and bay leaves in one pan. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, dry-fry the flour in a non-stick pan for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly, then add 2 tbsp stock and stir well to make a smooth paste. Strain and return to the pan then stir-in the sour cream to form a sauce before cooking on low for about 8 minutes.
Remove the bay leaves from the meat stew and turn into a greased baking dish. Cover with the sour cream sauce then place in an oven pre-heated to 180°C and bake for about 20 minutes, or until done.
