Chanterelle pasta

  Sometimes the best way to emphasize the taste of an ingredient is to prepare it in the simplest way. This chanterelle pasta uses only 4 ingredients so the delicious mushroom aroma and taste would be the most prevalent. This is a super fast dish to make and is great for an appetizer or dinner. Its best to use a wide type of pasta, like tagliatelle. Do not wash the mushrooms as they will absorb water like a sponge and become mushy.

Zagreb style steak

Zagreb style steak is a well known european dish which has different names in different countries or cities but uses the same preparation method though the filling may differ. In Serbia it is called Karađorđeva šnicla, there is also Osijek style steak which uses kulen, a cured sausage type delicacy. The proper meat to use for this dish is veal round but pork can be used instead. It is important that the meat is cleared of all the fat parts and veins. Ask the butcher to cut the meat in a way to form a large thin slice so its easily wrapped. Milk is not necessary but depending on the steak size you will have to use two eggs if milk is ommited.

Side dishes can vary greatly and can involve rice, rice wi...

Gourmet pljeskavica

Pljeskavica is a complicated dish to make. It has a similar shape to a hamburger and uses minced meat but that's where the similarities end. Pljeskavica contains more fat than a burger and has a different texture. Hot pepper and onion are also a must in every pljeskavica, and the gourmet version adds bacon, cheese and powdered paprika to the mix. The most important part in making this dish is the meat because without proper meat, even if the proper recipe is used the results won't be satisfactory. The ideal meat mix is 60% beef, 30% pork and 10% lard. Pljeskavica is best eaten with baked beans, somun (a type of bun) and young kajmak (sour cream). Prep time: 2 days Cooking time: 20 mins Portions : 2 Ingredients : 400g minced beef chuck 200g minced pork 100g lard 1 onion Fresh hot pepper 1tsp powdered sweet paprika 0,5dcl carbonated water 50g bacon 50g gauda cheese Instructions : In a large bowl squeeze and mix meat well using your hands, add salt to taste, cover with plastic wra...
