KRVAVICE | Blood Sausages (Slovenian Recipe)

Episode #68 - Krvavice | Slovenian Blood sausages are sausages filled with pork meat, pork blood, barley, buckwheat porridge and millet. Krvavice are traditionally served with kislo zelje (sauerkraut) and tenstan krompir (sauteed potatoes with onions). This dish is enjoyed during 'koline'.
Koline is an old tradition that is deeply rooted in our Slovenian culture that serves various purposes. Not only does it play an important part on our culinary side, it is also important on the social aspect. It brings families and people together to work and share with each other, before enjoying the fruits of their labour.
This event involves slaughtering a pig and the important practice of utilizing the entire pig, which demonstrates respect for the animal. The pig is first slaughtered, cleaned and butchered to be used in various traditional Slovenian foods such as; krvavice (blood sausages), salama, pečenice (pork sausages), ocvirki (pork crackling), šunka (ham) etc..

I remember this being at the table as a child back in 60's. I've noticed it a lot now in a small collection of Slovenian cookbooks I've put together. Thanks for this historic bit from the culture's kitchen and your family. Great video, outstanding.

Fascinating! Always been my favorite sausage since I was a kid with my Slovenian grandma and aunties. Never knew so many different ingredients went into it! Its such a unique blood sausage compared to other cultures - and by far the best. Thanks for sharing!
