About

Roast or stuffed suckling pig is one of the few Old World delicacies still being served in Ukraine today. Its stately appearance inspires an air of festivity and a roast suckling pig often takes center stage as the entrée of choice at weddings, buffets, or gala family occasions. It is delicious hot or cold and very simple to prepare. Here I have paired it with a traditional buckwheat stuffing, but feel free to use your favorite. Presentation can be as simple or as elegant as you choose—offe
