sibulaugu

Sibulaugu is a traditional Estonian dish. It is a type of pancake or fritter made primarily from grated onion. The grated onion is mixed with a binding agent, typically flour and eggs, and then fried until golden brown and cooked through. Seasonings such as salt and pepper are often added to enhance the flavor.

The preparation of sibulaugu is relatively simple. Onions are peeled and then finely grated or processed. This grated onion mixture is then combined with flour and beaten eggs to form a batter. Some variations may include a small amount of milk or water to achieve the desired consistency. The batter is then spooned into a hot, greased pan and fried on both sides. The resulting fritters are usually crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Sibulaugu can be served as a standalone dish or as a side. It is often enjoyed hot, sometimes accompanied by sour cream or other dairy products, which complement the savory onion flavor. It is a common element in Estonian home cooking and can be found at local markets or during traditional celebrations. While the basic recipe is straightforward, regional variations may exist in terms of seasoning or the addition of other ingredients.
