NEW PRODUCTS – PERISHKE & CABBAGE ROLLS

We are thrilled to announce that were are expanding our list to products to include two Ukrainian favourites – Perishke and Cabbage Rolls!

PERISHKE

Perishke are small buns made with a yeast dough and a variety of fillings. One of our favourite fillings is sauerkraut cooked with bacon, onion and a variety of spices. Once filled, these little buns are whisked with egg, baked, and then brushed with butter. They are best served with chopped fried bacon and finely chopped green onion. These are served as a side dish or as an appetizer.

CABBAGE ROLLS

A cabbage roll is a dish consisting of steamed cabbage leaves wrapped around a variety of fillings. The inspiration for our recipe started from our grandmothers coming from the Ukraine and Poland. The best rolls are prepared from locally grown cabbage at a particular time of the year. The filling is predominantly rice with prepared bacon, onion and a special blend of spices. The filling is rolled in the cabbage leaf, then baked with a homemade tomato sauce and butter.
