Try Vegan Polish Tomato Soup, a plant-based version of the traditional Polish soup—Zupa Pomidorowa.

Indulge in the comforting flavors of this vegan version, which is ideal for cold days or any meal of the year.

Vegan Sauerkraut Chickpea Flour Pierogies are a delightful twist on the classic Polish dumplings.

The dough is made with chickpea flour, psyllium husk, and water and filled with sauerkraut. The spiced applesauce on the side complements the acidity of the sauerkraut, making for a well-balanced dish.

Mizeria is a refreshing Polish cucumber salad that uses simple ingredients to create a light and crisp dish.

Although the traditional recipe calls for sour cream, you can easily use a vegan substitute.

The combination of thinly sliced cucumbers, spring onion, fresh dill, black pepper, salt and creamy vegan sour cream creates a wonderful side dish for heavier meals.

Creamy mashed potatoes, vegan cheese and sauteed onions in vegan butter make an excellent filling for vegan pierogi.

This recipe comes with another option for your filling—mushrooms and lentils. So you can play around with different flavors to find your perfect combination.

If you like your pierogies on a crispy side, you can pan-fry them after boiling for a delicious texture.

Vegan Polish Red Borscht is a hearty traditional soup with a vegan makeover. It’s characterized by its rich flavor and deep red color achieved with beetroot.

The vegan stock is made with a mix of vegetables, including beets, carrots, parsnip and onion, dried mushrooms, apple and a variety of spices.

Uszka, which means “little ears” in Polish, is a popular accompaniment to this beet soup. Traditional uszka fillings include sauerkraut or mushrooms.

Whenever I’m craving some hot soup on a cold day, beetroot comes in handy. Even though borshch is originally Ukrainian, I don’t mind trying different variations, and this vegan Polish recipe sounds very exciting!

Polish Dill Pickles, an essential part of Polish cuisine, are cucumbers soaked in a mixture of vinegar, water, salt, dill, mustard seeds and garlic.

They make a crunchy vegan snack that can be served on its own, as a side, or as a tangy condiment to salads and sandwiches.

I love snacking on pickles and other tasty Polish snacks like ‘bialys’.

A traditional Polish bread called bialy is a chewy handmade roll with onions and poppy seeds in a dimpled center.
