Machanka is a sauce that is cooked from multiple ingredients – different types of meat, vegetables, flour and water. Cutlets in Belarusian cuisine can be made of pork or beef, fish and mushrooms and there are several kinds of these, too.
A lot of dishes are made of meat because in the old times there was plenty of game in the Belarusian forests (not available to peasants, though).
