Bulgarian Egg Cutlets
This recipe is typical for the Strandja Mountain region in Bulgaria. Once again, I took it from the Bulgarian National Cuisine cookbook of Zemizdat.
Bulgarian Stewed Beans (Fassoul Yahnia)
Adapted from Pan American’s Complete Around the World Cookbook. Prep time includes overnight soaking of beans.
Bulgarian Style Barbecued Suckling Pig
A suckling pig tastes best when 4 to 6 weeks old. Be sure to handle the pig gently, so as not to tear the skin.
Bulgarian Burgers (Kufteh)
aka kafta, kofta, koefta. Served on crusty rolls or country-style bread and reportedly a popular snack in Bulgaria. Not to be confused with Arab kufteh which is grilled ground lamb kebabs or meatballs. Source: Steven Raichlen.
Anelia’s Kyufteta or Bulgarian Roasted Meatballs
Once again one of my boyfriend’s favourites. He never gets tired of these meatballs or of my cutlets and he often requests both at the same time. Grilling is also a nice option although you might want to put more beef or more bread so that the mixture gets thicker.
