"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

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.
