Autumn Brings Back Hearty Dinners as Iki Discounts Pork, Curd and Lithuanian Potatoes

September changes the rhythm of family life. Children return to school and extracurricular activities, holidays end, and weekday schedules become fuller again. Iki is presenting its weekly promotions as a way to make meal planning easier during the busier season.

The supermarket says shoppers can combine discounted products into complete dishes rather than buying isolated items. This weekend, chilled salmon steaks and pieces will cost 9.99 euros per kilogram, while Clever Lithuanian potatoes sold by weight will cost 0.29 euros. The promotions also cover fresh pork, sour cream and curd.

Shoppers care not only about the discount on one product, but also whether the weekly offers make it possible to assemble an entire dish more cheaply.

Iki culinary chef Jolita Tamoševičienė suggests using fresh potatoes for more than a side dish. They can form the basis of kugelis, potato pancakes or a bake, while sour cream can become a creamy sauce for roasted pork. A loyalty card or mobile app is required to use the discounts and special offers.

Her featured recipe uses pork loin steaks, onions, meat stock, Dvaro sour cream, flour and thyme. She advises frying the meat in batches when necessary so the pan stays hot. If too many pieces go in at once, liquid comes out of the meat and it begins to stew instead of brown. The browned pork is then returned to the pan with softened onions, stock and the sour-cream mixture.

When the pieces are packed too tightly, the pan’s temperature quickly drops, liquid begins to come out of the meat, and it starts to stew rather than fry.
