    Langidi – quick breakfast, recipe from grandmother Elenka

    Лангиди

    Good Saturday morning! Let’s have breakfast 🙂 Today I suggest you to prepare a quick and delicious breakfast. The recipe is from a long time ago, from my grandmother. The same grandmother Elenka from the village of Vardim, Svishtov region, who also made the Walnut buns that I showed you some time ago. Come on, roll up your sleeves and enjoy these LANGIDI. I still dodn’t understand where this name came from and why they were called that way. My personal explanation is that they look like small tongues and come from the word langue (French) or lingua (Latin). This is hardly true, but the important thing in this case is…

    Milinki – fluffy cheese buns

    Милинки

    My husband Theo was in the kitchen again. This time he performed with these fluffy cheese buns we call MILINKI. I, of course, helped a little, but only in shaping the balls and baking. Because whenever we bake something in the oven, he asks me “How many minutes should I bake?”, and my answer always is “I don’t know, until it’s done!” 🙂 Well, with such a team the success is sure! Look at the recipe and have fun! 🙂

    Pepper boats

    This seemingly very simple recipe is so delicious that it’s hard to describe. It was born on a day when my family were guests at Jeff’s. Jeff’s wife (i.e. my friend Maya) doesn’t eat meat, so we always cook something vegetarian. We opened the refrigerator door and unanimously decided to deprive Jeff of the peppers he makes an omelette with. We mixed the ingredients for the filling and this tasty and beautiful thing turned out! Look how it happened: You should definitely prepare them and you’ll understand!

    Fast spaghetti Marinara

    Спагети Маринара

    Marinara sauce is a tomato sauce, usually made with tomatoes, garlic, onions and other spices – basil, oregano, parsley, pepperoncini, capers, anchovies and more. It is a slowly cooked sauce (through simmering for about 2 hours or more), similar to bolognese sauce (ragu). This recipe is fast. The fast Marinara sauce is less aromatic but still very delicious. My personal favorite addition to Marinara sauce is the Bulgarian white cheese. Any other cheese can be added to this sauce.

    Makarina Banitsa or “bathed” Cheese Pie (recipe from Vardim, Svishtov region)

    We are used to eat this cheese pie with pleasure every time we visit our relatives for Christmas in my mother’s native village – Vardim, on the Danube, 10 km. from the town of Svishtov towards the town of Ruse. Apart from the second largest island on the Danube River after Belene Island (Vardim Island), the village is also known for its Banitsa Makarina. I have no idea where the name or the recipe comes from. I have also not heard of it being prepared in other regions of Bulgaria. It is extremely soft and tasty and its preparation is very similar to the lasagna crusts. Whether it is a…

    It has been a long time since I wanted to prepare this type of Bread stuffed with onions. And here, in my fridge, there is a loooot of leeks. Well, now is the time. And I rolled up my sleeves… For the base I used a recipe from the internet site supichka.com, and to stay true to myself, I added something of my own – white cheese in the stuffing. Something unique came out as a result! Enjoy!
