Mizeria

Weeknight-friendly Polish cooking: Mizeria comes together in 20 minutes with cucumbers, sour cream, and not much else. The macros do the talking: 4g protein, 14g carbs, and 11g fat in every 161-calorie serving. Naturally vegetarian, it scales cleanly if you are cooking for more than one.

Ingredients

• 3 Cucumbers
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1/4 cup Dill
• 1/2 Lemon
• 1 tsp Sugar

Steps

1. Slice the cucumbers paper-thin — a mandoline earns its keep here.
2. Salt them and rest 15 minutes; the salt draws out water so the dressing stays thick.
3. Squeeze the cucumbers firmly, wringing out every drop.
4. Fold with sour cream, dill, lemon juice, and the pinch of sugar.
5. Chill 10 minutes so the flavors marry.
6. Serve alongside schabowy; mizeria is the cool, creamy counterpoint to everything fried.
