So, it looks like the mail is flowing again.
Saskatchewan, like Alberta, has a large Ukrainian population.
Everyone here already knows about perogis, cabbage rolls and Kubasa
sausage, so I won't go on about them. Here's two lesser known iconic
dishes:
Kutia is a grain dish of boiled whole wheat berries, dressed with
honey, poppy seeds and fruit, usually dried cherries. It is one of
the twelve meatless dishes served on Christmas Eve but it's tasty all
winter long as a hot breakfast cereal. I often make it with
sweetened dried cranberries and/or diced apple.
Nalysnyky are thin crepes, cooked, then layered in a casserole dish
with a cream sauce coating each layer and baked. Alternatively the
crepes can be filled with a soft cheese mixture and rolled up,
before baking, with or without a cream sauce.
There is a sweet version served as a dessert and a savoury one which
makes a great main course side dish. The savoury ones almost always
have lots of dill in them.

Title: Mary's Nalysnyky
Categories: Ukrainian, Pancakes, Dairy, Cheese, Fillings
Yield: 6 Servings
2 Eggs
1/2 c Milk
3 tb Water
1/2 c White flour
1/4 ts Salt
FILLING:
2 c Cottage cheese
2 Egg yolks
2 tb Heavy cream
Salt
Chopped fresh dill
Beat the eggs until light. Add the milk and water, stir to mix and
then the dry ingredients and beat until the mixture forms a smooth
batter. Heat a small frying pan, over medium heat. Butter it
lightly and then pour in about 3 or 4 tablespoons of the batter,
enough to coat the bottom of the pan in a thin layer. Cook the
pancake, until the bottom is a light brown and the top firm to the
touch. Remove from the pan, transfer to a warm plate and continue
until all the batter is used, buttering the pan lightly before
each use.
Press the cheese through a sieve to make a smooth paste. Add the
rest of the ingredients and mix well. Spread a few spoonfuls of
the cheese filling on each pancake and roll them up. Place the
rolls in a buttered baking dish seam side down, dot with butter,
cover tightly and bake in a 350 F oven until heated through.
