Porákou

Porákou is a traditional Czech dish that has gained popularity in recent years, particularly among younger generations. It is a type of meatball soup, typically made with a combination of pork and beef, although variations may include other types of meat. The meat is ground and mixed with breadcrumbs, onions, garlic, and various spices, then formed into small balls. These meatballs are then simmered in a flavorful broth, often made from beef or chicken stock, along with vegetables such as carrots, celery, and potatoes. The soup is typically served with a side of crusty bread to soak up the broth. Porákou is often enjoyed for its hearty and comforting qualities, making it a popular choice for colder months. Its origins can be traced back to the Czech Republic, where it has been a staple in traditional cuisine for many years. Despite its simplicity, porákou has become a beloved dish that continues to be enjoyed by many, both within the Czech Republic and internationally.
