1/6/2021

0 Comments

 
Everyone's mom makes chicken and rice in one form or the other. This dish is one of those "around the globe" things, and yet there are probably so many different variations as there is moms in the world.  This one is our Caribbean inspired chicken and rice. Feel free to tweak it however your own inspiration leads you. :-)

Žgvacet - Istrian (Croatian) beef stew

5/31/2020

1 Comment

 
Žgvacet is a traditional Istrian (peninsula in the north western part of Croatia) goulash-like slow cooked dish. Traditionally it was mostly made from hen (old chicken) meet even though other meat options are just as tasty. Typical for Žgvacet is that you need to brown the meat first, than you add the onions and afterwards use a lot of wine to cook it in. Since this is an old traditional dish there are as many original recipes as there are grandmothers in Istria since every one of them adds that little extra something that makes her Žgvacet the best.

Time needed: about 3,5 hours
Preparation: about 30 minutes

Kvrguša - Knob Pie (with chicken)

5/23/2020

Now this is a simple one! Juicy cuts of chicken meat in a soft and spongy dough/crust. The name is weird (in its original and translated into any language) but it does describe the final product to the point. Once pulled out of the oven you will have knobs of chicken meat peaking out of your delicious pie. 

Time needed: about 1 hour
Preparation and assembly: about 15 minutes

"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
