๐ฐ A Glimpse into Poland’s History ๐
Poland's history is as rich and layered as its cuisine. From its establishment in the 10th century, Poland has been a land of resilience and cultural fusion. The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, one of the largest and most populous countries in Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries, left a legacy of cultural diversity. Despite the partitions in the 18th century and the devastation of World War II, Poland has rebuilt itself, holding onto its traditions while embracing modernity.

Poland’s traditional dishes like pierogi (dumplings), bigos (stew), and zapiekanka (open-faced sandwich) have seen innovative vegan twists. Traditional Polish cuisine is rooted in hearty, seasonal, and locally sourced ingredients, making it ripe for vegan adaptations. Today, plant-based alternatives are found throughout the country, allowing vegans to savor the authentic flavors of Poland.

Filling:
• 2 cups mashed potatoes
• 1/2 cup sautéed onions
