Immigrant Foodways: Czech Christmas menu: Pea soup and schnitzel with potato salad
<p>This holiday season, learn how to make a traditional Czech meal and lots of desserts from Czech-born Chef Tom Slepicka. Join us for our first Czech and Slovak Christmas Cooking and Baking Series, and enjoy a premier cooking class from the comfort of your home.</p><p>Let’s celebrate with this traditional Czech Christmas pea soup and the little bit more modern Czech Christmas meal, Schnitzel with Homemade Potato Salad.</p><p>Pea soup is one of the most traditional Christmas meals in the Czech Republic. The current practice calls for it to be served as an appetizer before a main course. Schnitzel originated in Italy and by the mid-19th century got to Vienna, the capital of the Austrian Empire. The Viennese removed the traditional use of Parmesan and made a few other changes to the original recipe, and the traditional Viennese schnitzel was born. Because the Czech and Slovak Republics were once part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, this dish remains popular in the Czech Republic’s culinary culture. The Czech name for this meal is “Řízek”, and is commonly prepared from chicken, pork, or veal.</p><p>As a side dish, we are going to prepare Czech potato salad totally from scratch.</p><p>Note: Suitable for vegetarians – simply replace the schnitzel with fried cheese. This class is 3.5 hours long.</p><p>Slepicka graduated from culinary school in his hometown, Brno, located in the Czech Republic. While still in school, he established a successful full-service catering company which operated in the Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, and Austria. Slepicka moved to the U.S. with his wife in 2014. From 2015-16, he operated the Czech Deli at the NewBo City Market. The goal of his courses is to make tasty and high-quality meals accessible to everyone. </p> 2020-11-23 18:00:00 -060012/05/202:30 p.m.National Czech & Slovak Museum & LibraryCedar Rapids -
