Even with all the snow we had last week, the girl's and I were still able to get together this past weekend for our next theme dinner. With the winter Olympics being held in Sochi, Russia we thought it would be fun to try out some traditional Russian dishes. Our menu for the evening included:
- Cabbage Soup
- Russian Salmon and Potato Salad
- Piroshky
- Chicken Kotleti with Mushroom Stuffing
- Cheery Blintzes

I attempted to make the Chicken Kotleti with Mushroom Stuffing (my backup was a bottle of vodka) and I have to say that they came out pretty good. I got the recipe from Olga's Flavor Factory, a blogger who grew up enjoying Russian food and loves to cook and entertain. She has a ton of great Russian recipes to choose from if you want to browse through her site for more great Russian recipes to try. You can find the complete recipe with step-by-step pictures how how to make your own Chicken Kotleti with Mushroom Stuffing here. If you are not a fan of mushrooms you can also try one of the other Chicken Kotleti variations that she has on her site instead. (My hands were a little too messy from the chicken mixture to take pictures. Oops!)
While all of our dishes turned out great (trust me, we were all surprised) we did come to the conclusion that Russians must not like adding seasoning in their dishes. I decided to mix things up a little bit (and give the cabbage soup some more flavor) by taking one of my leftover chicken kotletis, cut it up and added it to my cabbage soup along with some salt and pepper. It actually turned out to be a leftover dinner with salad the next day!
