Ingredients
For the dough:

500 g all-purpose flour
250 ml warm water
1 tbsp vegetable oil
½ tsp salt
For the filling:

500 g sauerkraut
40 g dried mushrooms
1 large onion
2 tbsp butter or vegetable oil
1 bay leaf
2–3 allspice berries
Salt and black pepper, to taste
To serve:

Fried onions
A little butter, optional
Method
Prepare the mushrooms: Soak the dried mushrooms in warm water for several hours, preferably overnight. Cook until tender, then finely chop.
Cook the sauerkraut: Drain and roughly chop the sauerkraut. Place it in a pot, add the bay leaf and allspice, cover with a little water and simmer for 30–40 minutes, until tender.
Finely chop the onion and sauté in butter or oil until golden. Add the cooked mushrooms and fry for a few more minutes.
Drain the sauerkraut and remove the bay leaf and allspice. Combine the sauerkraut with the mushrooms and onion. Season generously with salt and black pepper. Allow the filling to cool completely.
Make the dough: Combine the flour and salt. Add the oil and gradually pour in the warm water, kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rest for 20–30 minutes.
Roll out the dough thinly and cut out circles using a glass or round cutter. Place a spoonful of filling in the centre of each circle, fold in half and press the edges firmly to seal.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pierogi in batches. Once they float to the surface, cook for another 2–3 minutes.

Vepřo Knedlo Zelo
Traditional Czech Roast Pork with Bread Dumplings and Sauerkraut
Serves: 4
Preparation time: about 40 minutes
Cooking time: about 2–3 hours
Ingredients
For the roast pork
• 1 kg pork neck or pork shoulder
• 4–5 cloves of garlic
• 1 large onion
• 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
• 2 tablespoons pork lard or vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• Salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 250–300 ml water or stock
For the bread dumplings
• 500 g coarse or all-purpose flour
• 20 g fresh yeast
• 250 ml lukewarm milk
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 small bread roll or bread bun, preferably slightly stale
• 1 teaspoon salt
For the sauerkraut
• 500 g white sauerkraut
• 1 onion
• 1–2 tablespoons pork lard or oil
• 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 100 ml water
• 1–2 teaspoons sugar, to taste
• Salt
• A little vinegar, if needed
Method
1. Prepare the pork
Preheat the oven to 140°C (285°F).
Peel and crush the garlic and mix it with salt, pepper and crushed caraway seeds. Rub the mixture thoroughly over the pork.
Slice the onion and place it in the bottom of a roasting dish. Put the seasoned pork on top and add the lard.
Pour in a little water or stock, cover the dish and roast slowly for approximately 2–3 hours, occasionally basting the meat with the cooking juices.
During the final 20–30 minutes, remove the lid so that the pork can become beautifully browned.
When the meat is tender, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
2. Make the bread dumplings
Warm the milk until it is lukewarm. Mix the yeast with the sugar and a little of the milk and leave for about 5–10 minutes until it becomes slightly foamy.
Place the flour in a large bowl. Add the egg, salt, activated yeast and the remaining milk. Knead into a soft, smooth dough.
Cut the bread roll into small cubes and gently knead them into the dough.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and leave the dough to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has roughly doubled in size.
Divide the dough into 2–3 equal pieces and shape them into long rolls. Leave them to rest for another 15–20 minutes.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Carefully place the dumplings into the water and cook for approximately 20 minutes, turning them halfway through.
Remove them from the water and immediately pierce them several times with a fork or skewer to release steam. Slice into thick pieces.
3. Prepare the sauerkraut
Drain the sauerkraut. If it is very sour, rinse it briefly with cold water.
Finely chop the onion and sauté it in the lard or oil until golden.
Add the sauerkraut, caraway seeds and about 100 ml of water. Cover and simmer for approximately 15–20 minutes, until tender.
Sprinkle with flour and stir well. Cook for another few minutes until the sauerkraut thickens slightly.
Season with salt and sugar. If you prefer a sharper flavour, add a small splash of vinegar.
4. Make the gravy
Strain or use the juices left in the roasting dish. If necessary, add a little water or stock.
For a thicker gravy, mix the flour with a small amount of cold water and stir it into the juices. Bring to a gentle boil and cook until slightly thickened.
5. Serve
Slice the roast pork and arrange it on a plate alongside slices of bread dumpling and a generous portion of warm sauerkraut.
Pour some of the rich roasting juices over the pork.
Serve immediately while everything is hot.
Traditional Czech serving: roast pork + sliced dumplings + braised white sauerkraut, all served together with the delicious gravy from the roast.

On Wednesday the 9th of December 2026, the fifth edition of the IPA Blue Light Ride will take place. This wonderful event is organised by the Dutch IPA district Limburg-Noord.
On that day, an impressive convoy of some 100 emergency vehicles will drive through the north of the province of Limburg under police es**rt. Along the way, they will pass healthcare facilities to support the patients en care workers in these dark December days.
The convoy will end at VieCuri Medical Centre in Venlo. Here, one of the patients from the children’s ward may count down after which the dark car parking turns into a sea of blue light. The deafening sound of sirens, a police helicopter circling and lifeboats on the nearby river make this a magical spectacle. A spectacle that hopefully makes sick children and their family forget all the misery for a moment.
Last year we had police officers from The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Poland and and the United Kingdom attended. IPA members from other countries are more than welcome to attend this event (preferably with a vehicle).
For more information, visit www.bluelightride.nl or email [email protected] or read the experiences of visiting members at https://www.staffordshire.police.uk/news/staffordshire/news/2025/december/officers-return-from-breath-taking-blue-light-netherlands-ride/

This weeks PolicemenU is sent in from Eugene Thommes, President of Section Luxembourg

Judd mat Gaardebounen is a typical Luxembourgish specialty. The meat is a smoked pork neck steak. The beans are broad beans, also called "Saubounen" in Luxembourgish. These beans are served with a brown sauce. Plain boiled potatoes are also served, but these can also be prepared with bacon. A Luxembourgish w**e is the perfect accompaniment.
This meal can served during the summer but also in the winter mounts.
Ingredients
For the meat:
500 gr uncooked smoked Judd
1 carrot
1 leek
1 bay leaf
1 onion, peeled
2 cloves

For the beans:
200g broad beans in a jar
15g butter
15g flour
50 ml white w**e Elbling
20ml cream
3 tsp summer savoury (Bounekräitchen)
salt and pepper
To serve:
boiled potatoes
Luxembourgish mustard

Serves 2 persons
Start by desalting the meat: put the meat into a saucepan with cold water and bring to the boil. Once boiling, drain the meat, then top again with cold water, adding the carrot, leek, bay leaf, peeled onion and cloves. Cover, bring to the boil and simmer for 2 hours.
Take off the heat and leave the meat in the broth until serving (you will need some of the broth for the sauce).
Drain the broad beans. Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the flour and fry on a medium heat for about 5 minutes until it starts to turn brown and fragrant.
Add the white w**e while whisking and briefly cook, so that the liquid thickens. Then, add 280ml of the meat broth in the same way, followed by the cream and summer
savoury. Add the broad beans to the sauce and heat through, season with salt and pepper.
Cut the cooked Judd into slices and divide between 2 plates.
Add a ladle of broad beans and serve with boiled potatoes and a dollop of Luxembourgish mustard.
One glas of Mosel W**e
Gudden Appetit,
