So, what is boczek?

Boczek is a versatile ingredient in Polish cuisine that consists of salt-cured pork belly. The meat is typically rolled and tied with string, then smoked to enhance its flavor. Boczek has a rich, savory taste with a slightly crispy texture that complements many dishes. It's a popular addition to stews, soups, and casseroles, and often used as a topping for traditional Polish pierogi or as a filling for sandwiches. It's also commonly served as a breakfast meat alongside eggs and potatoes. Boczek adds a distinctive depth of flavor to any dish it's incorporated into.
