Uszka do Barszczu, or mushroom dumplings for borscht, is a traditional Polish dish commonly served during Christmas Eve dinner.
It is said that the dumplings are meant to resemble ears, hence the name 'uszka' which means 'little ears' in Polish.
The dish is usually served as a side dish or added to borscht soup to make it a more filling meal.
The dumplings are typically small and filled with a savory mixture of mushrooms, onion, and spices.
This recipe is a simplified version of the original, using dried wild mushrooms that can be easily found in most grocery stores.
