Media: Uszka
Uszka or vushka (Polish: Uszka, Ukrainian: Вушка, Belarusian: Вушкі) (meaning "little ears") are small dumplings[1] (a very small and twisted version of pierogi) usually filled with flavourful wild forest mushrooms and/or minced meat. They are usually served with barszcz, though they can be eaten simply with melted butter and herbs (usually chives) sprinkled over. When vegetarian (filled only with mushrooms or onion) they are a part of traditional Christmas Eve dishes in Poland[1] and Ukraine[citation needed], and are either added to the soup, or eaten as a side dish.[2]
In various languages, they are called[citation needed]:
- Polish: uszka
- Belarusian: вушкі (vúški)
- Ukrainian: вушка (vúška)
