 "Burek je s mesom, sve ostalo su pite."
(by every Bosnian ever) :-) Even-though spread across the Balkans this savory phyllo-pie is a Bosnian specialty. If you were ever in Bosnia you must have tried a Burek. They are sold in every bakery, on every corner across the country. There are many varieties of this pie and their name changes according to the filling inside (and your current geographical position). Here are some of the most common ones: Burek - filled with meat Zeljanica - filled with spinach and cottage cheese Sirnica - filled with cottage cheese, sour cream and eggs Pita od jabuka - apples and the list goes on.... We'll be doing couple of those here on bite&sip but let us start with meat! Time needed: about 2 hours Dough preparation and resting: about 1 hour Baking time about 40 minutes

 We love a risotto! There is something so comforting about this creamy nice dish that offers so many options and varieties. You can tweak any risotto recipe and make it just perfectly fit your own taste. And it can be with meat, fish, vegetarian, vegan-- with a risotto everything is possible!
Time needed: 45 minutes Preparation about 15 minutes Cooking time about 20 minutes Resting time: 10 minutes  Nor sure if I should call this a breakfast, lunch or dinner dish. Somehow this delicious, savory, spicy and fresh dish fits every time of the day. Shakshouka is a Mediterranean thing, and how you move from county to country the name and some ingredients do change so keep exploring and combining until you find your favorite!
Time needed: 30 minutes Preparation about 5 minutes Cooking time about 25 minutes  Bibimbap is a delicious traditional Korean rice dish. Traditionally it is a bowl of rice with a variety of toppings (sauteed vegetables - namul, korean hot pepper paste - gochujang, seasoned raw beef - yukhoe and an egg).
I was in a mood for something tasty and colorful. But since nowadays we don't just go out without good reason and I try to do all my groceries once every 10 days, I made this quarantine version of Bibimbap whit what I had at home. Time needed: 30 minutes Preparation about 15 minutes Cooking time about 15 minutes  Roasted chicken with a Thai kick. Sticky, sweet and spicy crowd pleaser! Time needed: 2 hours Preparation about 15 minutes Baking time about 1,5 hours
 You know that little Italian pizza place we ate at? Well it is not the same dough, but its really close to it! :-) Time needed: 5-6 hours (incl. proving time)  Hello!
We are Hans and Marijo. Traveling and enjoying out free moments together since 2016. We are trying to keep a nice balance between "more local" and "far-away travels". Since we are one Dutch living in the Netherlands (Hans) and one Croatian living in Austria (Marijo), quite a few of our travels are between those three countries and surroundings. When ever, and where ever we travel one of the important to-do things is exploring the local cuisine. Trying new things, asking many questions and figuring out how something delicious is prepared. Once we get back home we do our best to recreate those dishes and keep the vacation feeling with us even longer. Sometimes those projects are quite simple. Other times its hard to even find all the necessary ingredients... And just to be honest: no matter how hard we try, sometimes we just cant get it close to the dish we tasted abroad. In that case, we just need to travel back again! :-) |
