Machanka is a Belarusian and Ukrainian stew made with a combination of pork, sour cream, flour, and beef stock. The meat can include bacon, sausages, or ham, all cut into very small pieces. This soup-like stew is typically enriched with onions, mushrooms, and dill.

Quite commonly, machanka is served with draniki pancakes, consisting of potatoes, flour, lard, and salt, and some claim that the proper way to consume machanka is to roll up the potato pancakes and dip them into the stew.
