One of my favorite things about traveling is discovering new recipes that are easy and delicious. This dish is my favorite Bulgarian recipe, and I know you will love it too! It feeds a family of four easily, and can be made in a jiffy. This dish is served everywhere in Bulgaria, and is a go-to dish for the cold winter months. You can also add a few extra ingredients, like onion and parsley as well. If you like okra, (I'm lookin' at you Southerners), I think that would also make a nice complimentary vegetable to throw into the mix. If you add okra make sure it is fresh, not frozen, and sliced. I made the traditional dish, and kicked it up with some red pepper flakes. Serve this dish hot in shallow bowls, with a yeast roll or sliced fresh bread.

Chris,
ReplyDeleteThe last time I made the dish here in America I used one of those disposable cooking tins, but if you have Pyrex that is large enough that should work too. Another quick note, please add the red pepper to taste. I made the dish last week and my red pepper flakes here in America were much hotter, so I would do 1 tablespoon and add more in the end if you wish. You do not need to cover the dish at all while cooking. I hope you enjoy it! Let me know.
