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.
I’ve been experimenting with my 2 lb bread machine to see if it can do the hard part in making kozunak, since it’s so delicious, but a LOT of work. After much trial and error, this is what I came up with. The original recipe, from my Bulgarian mother-in-law, is posted separately.
These cookies are typically made in Bulgaria around Christmas. Very easy to make and yet so decadent. Very little sugar is used in this recipe so you can truly appreciate the pecan flavor.
This is an old Bulgarian Recipe for a very tender meat slowly cooked in wine sauce. It takes no time to fix and it taste like you cooked it a whole day. You could use either white or red wine and see what suits your taste. I also prefer to use more than 1 onion, but you can use as little as half. You are going to need one pot with a lid.
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.
