The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

ingredients
1 1/2 pound boneless pork shoulder, trimmed of fat and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon boukovo or red pepper flakes, or more to taste
1/2 teaspoon dried mint
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 large leek, white part only, washed well and chopped
1 large red onion, chopped
1 cup dry red wine
directions
In a medium bowl, toss the pork with the salt, black pepper, paprika, boukovo or pepper flakes, mint, and orange zest. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, stirring, until browned on all sides. Remove with a slotted spoon.
Lower the heat to medium, add the leek and onion, and cook, stirring, until translucent, 7 to 8 minutes.
Add the pork back into the skillet, pour in the wine, and cover. Reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer until the pork is tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Add more water or wine to the skillet if necessary to keep the contents moist.
Serve warm, as a meze or main course.

This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
