Banitza – Savoury Bulgarian Cheese Pie
This was handed to me by a Bulgarian Lady, who ran a restaurant/Pub near my University, frequented by lots of students. This is rich, filling and a bit time consuming, but really worth the effort. This makes a lot for a hungry crowd.
Banitsa With White Cheese (Bulgarian Banitsa With Phyllo Pastry)
Banitsa is a traditional Bulgarian meal and has very special place on the table on all traditional holidays. It can be done with different fillings like spinach, leaks, minced meat and other fillings; one thing is always the same – the phyllo pastry. Bantisa with white cheese is the most popular. It is served best with an extra bowl of plain yoghurt. It is my favorite breakfast. This recipe is my mom’s recipe and there are some small variances of the preparation in the different areas of the country. Some people use oil instead of butter (or margarine), some people do not use yoghurt but milk, some do not use milk and yoghurt at all, only eggs and white cheese. When we use only eggs and milk we call it milk banitsa.
Tikvenik – Bulgarian Sweet Pumpkin Pie
This is a very traditional autumn and winter dish here in Bulgaria. It is almost always done at home and probably that is the reason why I find it to be so comforting when I feel down or lonely or homesick. Or, simply, when I want to feel at home.
Simple Bulgarian Banitsa
