MIZERIA - POLISH CUCUMBER SALAD


Traditional mizeria is made from sliced cucumbers, onion, sour cream, salt and pepper. In my house my Mum made mizeria with sweetcorn and chives.



Ingredients:

One long cucumber
half can sweetcorn
small handfull chopped chives
Creme Fraiche (sour cream)
salt
white pepper

1. Grate cucumber. Put it to sieve and sprinkle with salt. Leave it aside for about 30 minutes. Salt will help to remove juice from cucumber.
2. After 30 minutes put cucumber to bowl. Add sweetcorn, chives, salt and pepper. Mix. Add few tablespoons of creme fraiche. Mixture should have consistency like on photo above.
3. Serve with warm potatoes and meat for dinner.

  2. It's the first time when I see mizeria made with corn. Traditionally it's made without it. Not a classic recepie...

    1. I agree with you and that is why I have written at the top of the page that this is not traditional recipe but its how we eat mizeria in my family. On the other hand in different regions in Poland similar dishes are make with different ingredients and sometimes served in other ways. Poland is a big country so differences are natural and common.
