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.
Make and share this Bulgarian Chushki Burek (Bulgarian Peppers Burek) recipe from Food.com.
Equipment needed: clean glass jars with airtight lids; thick bottomed large pot ; whisk; cooking thermometer; thick blanket or ice cooler;
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!
