Directions

This dish was introduced to Poland in the mid-sixteenth century by an Italian queen named Bona Sforza when she was married to the Polish king Sigismund the Old. Sometimes referred to as “Polish lasagna”, Lazanki captures a special blend of Italian and Polish cuisine that combines the best of both cultures.

6. Season onions and mushrooms with salt and pepper.
7. When the cabbage is soft, drain it into a strainer and let stand.
8. Cut Village Sausage and Double Smoked Bacon into cubes, and mix into the fried Mushrooms/onions.
