This recipe is inspired from a typical Romanian dish, "Pigs’s Alms". In rural areas, it is eaten before Christmas, with friends and relatives that helped with the processing of a slaughtered pig. Traditionally, before eating, a shot of Țuica – a strong plum made spirit – is being served (for adults only).
I changed the traditional recipe quite a bit. Most notably, the meat is not deep fried. I added lemon as well as dill. It is an easy recipe, tastes great and my kids love it! (especially the polenta).

Put in plates first for kids so it can cool a bit more. In each plate, add a few tablespoons of polenta and a few tablespoons of meat. The sauce goes well with the polenta. Optionally, add some pickles to the plate.
Enjoy and warn the kids that the polenta can be still hot!
