Poltava Dumplings, also known as 'Poltavski Halushky', are a traditional Ukrainian dish hailing from the city of Poltava. These soft, pillow-like dumplings are made from a simple dough of flour, water, and eggs, which is then rolled, cut into pieces, and boiled until they float to the surface of the water, indicating they're cooked. Often compared to Italian gnocchi, Poltava dumplings are typically served with a hearty meat sauce, such as pork or beef stew, or topped with sautéed onions, melted butter, and a sprinkle of dill. This comforting dish is a staple of Ukrainian home cooking and is usually served as a warm, satisfying main course, especially during the colder months.
