ReceptnaptárCold platter with sausage and sour pickles (zimna płyta)
Zimna płyta literally means cold platter, and it is one of the simplest forms of the Polish supper table. Smoked sausage, cheese, buttered bread and fermented pickles go on it, so success depends entirely on the ingredients. It needs no oven or hob, is ready in ten minutes, and goes well with a cold beer or hot tea.

Tips
- Choose a good-quality, aged smoked sausage; Polish kabanos or krakowska are especially fitting here.
- The cucumbers should be real fermented pickles, not vinegar ones, because lactic fermentation gives the sourness that balances the fatty meat.
- You can also enrich the platter with mustard, horseradish or a little horseradish sour cream, which brings more flavours to the table.
Frequently asked questions
What else can I add?
Ham, hard-boiled eggs, pickled peppers or radishes. For guests, you can also offer several kinds of bread.
Can I make it ahead?
You can slice the cold cuts and cheese 1-2 hours in advance and keep them in the fridge covered with cling film. Butter the bread just before serving.
