pälenný

Pälenný is a traditional dish from the Czech Republic, particularly popular in the regions of Bohemia and Moravia. The name "pälenný" translates to "roasted" in English, referring to the cooking method used for the main ingredient. The dish typically consists of roasted pork, often seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices, which are then slow-cooked until tender. The pork is usually cut into large chunks or left whole, depending on the recipe and personal preference. The cooking process involves searing the pork in a hot pan to create a crispy exterior, followed by slow roasting in an oven or over an open fire to ensure even cooking and tenderness. Pälenný is often served with a side of boiled potatoes, dumplings, or other traditional Czech side dishes. The dish is known for its rich, savory flavor and is a staple in Czech cuisine, often enjoyed during family gatherings and special occasions.
