"Natenna" a dish that I remember my Ukrainian mother preparing. It was so tasty. It was made from a weed (lamb's quarters) that grew in our garden. The dish contained lamb's quarters, rice, lots of garlic, onion, a little pre-cooked pork fat and sour cream. Does anyone out there remember having a similar dish prepared by their baba (grandmother). My mother gave me this recipe years ago, but I have not made it. My brother stumbled upon a large patch of lamb's quarters and asked if I had her recipe and low and behold I found it.
Please let me know if anyone out there remembers eating a similar dish.

Hi. Was looking online for City Chicken recipes, thought I’d take a look at Ukrainian recipes for chicken on a stick. Your name jumped off the page at me! I’m 82, my grandfather,John Rusnak, who was born in Moldavia, emigrated to Canada, landed in Chatham, Ont. Married my English born grandmother and moved here to Hamilton. Never had Ukrainian, or Moldavian, food served to me as a child. My brother, a Rusnak, is 70 and I have one cousin whose mother was a Rusnak. Sure you’re interested in all this but, “hey, it’s not a common name!” Take care. Thanks for the recipes.
