Buckwheat dumplings are a traditional and somewhat forgotten taste of Polish cuisine. The combination of farmer's cheese, eggs, and buckwheat flour creates a delicate, fluffy texture, while sautéed onion and garlic add aroma. It’s a quick, filling, and flavorful dish that tastes great drizzled with the topping and as a side to Bieszczady-style pork loin.
