Beef cheeks

Beef cheeks have recently become very fashionable again. They were a dish well known in Old Polish cuisine. Now they are coming back in a big way. They are very simple to prepare, but require quite a lot of time. Since they contain a large amount of connective tissue, time is needed for it to dissolve. They should be simmered for several hours. They are very rich in collagen which makes their texture after preparation sticky, buttery and the meat literally melts in the mouth. It has plenty of flavor. It goes perfectly with typically Polish side dishes such as mashed potatoes and sweet beets. This dish also goes perfectly with red wine. That's why it's an ideal choice for an exquisite dinner for two.
