I had a great deal on pork loin, so naturally I bought more than I needed.
I'm glad I did! I found a handful of great pork recipes from The Blue Danube Cookbook and this is the first of them, a simple roast pork loin accented with caraway seed and marjoram.
Svíčková na smetaně (hereafter simply svickova) is classic Czech home cooking, but it is often made for fine dining events as well.
It's a braised sirloin of beef with a sauce of pureed vegetables and cream, traditionally served with fluffy knedlicky (bread dumplings sliced with a thread).
I made this with my Czech friend Jana in November of 2015, when the coming winter made her think of her father's Svickova back home in Prague!
