When it's gray and cold outside and the rain is beating against the window panes, I often feel like eating hearty food. Then my thoughts wander to the Baltic States, about whose hearty cuisine I have already raved to you several times, for example with the recipe for shish kebab. Part of my family is from Lithuania; their kitchen culture is deeply rooted in me. The seasons determine what ends up on the table in the Baltic States. Wild strawberries and blueberries in summer, mushrooms and cabbage in autumn. We like to use it to wrap balandėliai, which translates as "little pigeon", hearty roulades filled with pork.
