What it is
The pork-and-pancake feast sauce: rich pork ribs and sausages simmered into a thick flour gravy, into which rolled blini are dipped, piece by piece. Ingredients: pork ribs, homemade sausages, pork fat, flour, onion, bay, sour cream or milk (in some styles), salt, pepper; thick blini or draniki for dipping. Recipe: 1) Brown the meats; render fat. 2) Make a roux in the drippings; add water or broth to a thick sauce. 3) Return meats; simmer until tender and the sauce glistens. 4) Roll blini into tubes. Serve: sauce in clay pots, pancakes for dipping — a communal, fingers-involved meal of the winter table. Flavor: porky, rich, rib-sticking. History: machanka (from machats, 'to dip') is the festive centre of the Belarusian village table, a dish of celebration after slaughter season. See also: Draniki, Kolduny.
