There are different versions of this recipe from all over the Balkans. You may be able to get sour cabbage from an Eastern European market; if not, you can boil the cabbage heads until soft enough to work with (the dish will taste slightly different – maybe add some vinegar to the broth). It is a very filling dish! Don’t worry about leftovers, they taste just fine reheated (use the stove, not the microwave)!
This is a Bosnian dessert, poached apples stuffed with walnuts and served with the poaching syrup and whipped cream.
From BoliviaBella.com, a common recipe for pickling vegetables. Serving size and yield is estimated.
Adapted from BoliviaWeb and Time/Life Foods of the World. You can add less sugar if you wish. “Yungueno” means “from the Yungas,” which is a forested area on the Eastern slopes of the Andes. I’ve scaled this down to make fewer servings.
I don’t know if this is authentic or not, and I haven’t tried it yet (but will soon), but it sounds good. When I was in Bolivia they used peanuts in a lot of dishes that we ate, though I never had the chance to eat a chicken dish with peanuts. It says to serve with rice, but I think serving it with any kind of potato dish would be appropriate. Maybe boiled potatoes? We ate a lot of potatoes during our trip, that’s for sure!
