Skalitsa Banitsa

Skalitsa Banitsa Recipe – Now world recognition This is probably the most famous Bulgarian recipe bar shopska salad and with the pastry now bought in a ready to use form from shops is very simple to make. This particular recipe was given to me by my Bulgarian neighbour Rosa who is also local nursery schoolteacher. It is as far as I’m aware only local to my village Skalitsa which has in my totally unbiased opinion gives better results than the original National recipe. Hence the name ‘Skalitsa’ Banitsa

Princesses (Bulgarian Ground Meat Sandwiches)

This is an extremely popular snack food here. Lately it is becoming less popular in cafeterias but it is still a favorite at almost any home. Feel free to alter the condiments but keep the pepper, the onions and the cumin. You could also grate some cheese on top, or add it to the meat mixture.
