This dish has a Turkish name and I guess it’s origin is Turkey. However the recipe I am sharing today comes from the Southern part of Bulgaria. It is very healthy meal, full with vitamins and protein. It is usually made with pork or beef, tomatoes,okra, mushrooms, peas, green beans, potatoes, eggplant, onions, herbs, and spices and is often served with “Balkan Mixed Salad”, a combination of roasted eggplant, sweet roasted peppers, garlic, tomatoes. The veggies in this dish can vary depending on the season. Here is my version of it. You will need a large clay bowl with lid.
Great vegetarian dish. Very simple to make with just a few ingredients. Could be served either as a main course or as a side dish. You can use 2 yellow (instead of green) and 2 red bell peppers if you prefer. If you like feta, you could use more. I personally, love feta and double the amounts for the feta. This super cheese dish goes great with a crispy crust bread like ciabatta. Enjoy!
This is another favorite Bulgarian Recipe of mine. The sweetness of the roasted red bell peppers and the tangy yogurt white sauce make such an excellent combination. Super easy to make and yet so delicious full with flavor and fragrance. You can also make this without the meat.
Banitsa is a very popular dish in Bulgaria, there are many ways to make it and variations in ingredients. My recipe is simple and has always came out great.
I just love eggs and often eat breakfast for dinner. Came across this recipe on the Internet and decided to post it for the Zaar World Tour. This particular one is so loaded with good things, it’s a one dish meal. Or you can serve it with a simple salad and a little garlic or peasant bread. The original recipe calls for 4 tablespoons of oil, but I’m planning to cut that in half.
