Mulgipuder - Estonian Potatoes and Groats Mash with Smoked Pork

This delicious traditional Estonian dish was provided by Estonian chef Janno Lepik. Janno is the Head Chef at Leib, a prestigious restaurant located in Old Town Tallinn.

The dish originates from Southern Estonia. People in Southern Estonia started boiling potatoes and pearl barley together in the second half of the 19th century as the combination was very filling. By the last quarter of the 19th century, this porridge was known all over Estonia and a century later  became a national dish that is served at various official events.

Enjoy!
