Grzane wino (Mulled wine)

Last night me and Maciej decided to make Polish hot mulled wine, also known as Grzaniec Galicyjski. This beverage is the best drink for long winter evenings, it helps you to survive the cold nights.

I love when the warm and sweet aroma of mulled wine  fills the house.

Here is the recipe in case you guys want to make it yourselves.

Cebularz – Polish onion cake.

Me a and  Maciej decided to make this rare polish Jewish specialty, the recipe comes from the eastern part of Poland where Maciej lived once in a life time. To his surprise this baked dish is served only in the area where he lives! When we first he if i have ever tried this simple and unique dish but my simple answer was NO I DIDN’T! About a week ago Maciej discovered this wonderful cooking blog called “Zapiecek” from which we copied the idea to make cebularz. If you know polish you can read about it here. Tomorrow I am going to share some with my friends from my work place, and I can’t wait for their reaction!
