This fruity Bulgarian dish is from Silvena Rowe who is a UK tv Chef of Eastern European heritage. She is really interesting to watch as she is always creating dishes that are unique for UK chefs.
The salad is named after the people living in the Sofia area in Bulgaria (the shopi). It’s a great salad and easy to prepare.
This is a recipe I have not tried yet but I found it in an old book about traditional Bulgarian cooking and it sounded great. I decided to share it so here it is. If you happen to try it, please share how it came out and what kind of cheese you used. By the way, I’m guessing at preparation and cooking times.
This is a salad for people who love onions and olives. You might want to use Vidalia or Maui onions for a slightly sweeter flavor. The preparation time includes time the onions and cucumber stand. The recipe comes from “The Best of Slavic Cooking” by Alojzije Kapetanovic and Ruzica Kapetanovic.
