    Traditional Spanish gaspacho (or Gaspacho Andaluz)

    Гаспачо

    This soup is made faster than our cold soup called Tarator, because you don’t even bother to grate the vegetables. I have been planning to try this Gaspacho for so long and in these hot days the time has come. I really wanted to make gaspacho according to an original Spanish recipe, so I looked for one and found it on the culinary youtube channel “Spain on a Fork”. The vegetables in the blender, a little good olive oil on top and you’re done! Try it for yourself! Here is the recipe:

    Grilled vegetables pasta

    Today I offer you pasta with grilled vegetables – a very fresh and suitable dish for hot summer days. And a real delight for vegetables lovers! But believe me, this recipe is a temptation even for those who say they do not sit at the table without meat. Here, take a look and you will be convinced. Cut the vegetables, heat the grill and that’s it! Well, just in case, you can throw a sausage on the grill, too 😉 Enjoy! 🙂

    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.

And since I can definitely call myself now a fan of the old and forgotten Bulgarian dishes, I decided to introduce it to you … Very easy, and suitable for beginner cooks! And super delicious! Enjoy! 🙂

    Mackerel with beans and pickled cucumbers (Ropotamo Mackerel)

    Скумрия "Ропотамо"

    Today I would like to diversify a little the Easter menu with a very old and delicious recipe that I remember from my childhood – Ropotamo Mackerel. For our younger audience, I would like to explain that the recipe comes from canned mackerel, which was sold in shops, which contained tomato sauce and pickled cucumbers. I’m not sure about the beans … I may be burdened by the taste of childhood, but I have a feeling that everything was tastier then. Probably because I was a kid … So I’m glad Tanya Kiryazova reminded me of this recipe and shared it on her site mytasted.blogspot.com. Thank you very much, Tanya!…

    Tas kebap

    Тас кебап

    The technology of preparation of kebaps was taken from the Oriental cuisine, and subsequently it was further developed and modified according to the peculiarities of our national cuisine. Kebaps are cooked in many ways and in practice their variety is great both because of the different types of meat and their different treatments. The most commonly used are lamb, veal and pork. They are prepared by frying or stewing the cubes of meat in fat or sauce, but they can also be grilled. The sauce may also be with different color. It is delicious and aromatic because of the many spices used – savory, mint, black pepper, bay leaf, wine,…
