HOW TO MAKE TRADITINAL SAUERKRAUT - SOUR CABBAGE

12:36 AM Add Comment


It is known that there is no real winter meal if there is no salad of homemade sour cabbage on the table, so it is a great addition to almost all winter specialties. Or winter without cabbage sarma? Not imaginable!  Sour cabbage is exactly the source of all good and nutrients needed for the organism in the winter months. It is mostly rich in vitamin C. Therefore, read one of the great number of recipes and varieties for preparing sauerkraut, my dad prepares sour cabbage this way for years, ever since I was a kid, so it is a recipe that is proven and so the sour cabbage is really delicious.







Salads

How to Prepare 

● Buy hard cabbages, leave them for a few days, and when choosing, try to find cabbage which during the season was sufficiently watered because in a dry season, unwatered cabbage is very hard.
 ● The first thing you need to do during the preparation is the removal of old and damaged outer sheets, and then with a sharp short knife remove the hard part root, but be careful not to remove it entirely because still a small part of it is needed for to keep the cabbage leaves together.

● In a separate bowl, mix sea salt and pepper in the grains, and with this mixture, fill the holes of the cabbages.
● Put all cabbages in a plasti larger barrel, and fill the barrel with water. Cover with plate or a flat rock so all cabbages are well dipped in the water. Close the lid well. Keep in a cold place.
● During the first few days, the water level should be controlled, which should always be above the cabbage heads. After a few days check how much the water is salty and if you find that salt is missing, add it. A sign that you put too little salt is blurred water.
● After forty days, sour cabbage is ready for use. The salt water in which the cabbage stood will remain clear during the whole winter, and many people attribute medicinal properties to the water, especially for the improvement of the digestive system. In addition, it is particularly useful for consumption after consuming large amounts of alcohol.
●What is especially important is that the cabbage should be removed with clean hands, and after removal, the container should immediately be sealed. The cabbage prepared in this way is not necessary to wash before use.

This dish is old, Macedonian, our grandmothers prepared it. It's possible it has Turkish roots, because the word 'Pasha' or 'Paşa' represents a higher rank in the Ottoman Empire political and military system, typically granted to governors, generals, dignitaries and others.

This dish is consisted of small meatballs in a special soup prepared from flour which we call 'kasha'.

DJIMIRINKI (CRACKLINGS) - BALKAN PORK SPECIALTY

12:17 AM Add Comment


Have you ever tried djimirinki (cracklings)? Djimirinki (also known as chvarci) are made from finely chopped pieces of pork bacon that melts in a larger fire pot. They are a kind of pork 'crisps', with fat thermally extracted from the lard.
During the preparation, the fat is removed from the bacon, and the pieces of meat are left to fry and dry.
It is recommended to eat them warm combined with red wine.

Main dish
 
Ingredients:


  • 5 kg bacon
  • 1 liter water
  • 2 teaspoons salt
 
Preparation:

  1. Wash the bacon well with water to remove any blood.
  2. Cut bacon into cubes with size 2 x 2 cm. Place the cubes in a deeper pot and add about 1 liter of water so about 3/4 of the pieces of bacon would be immersed.
  3. Put the pot on a strong fire until the water starts to boil and stir occasionally to avoid burning. When water starts to boil, lower the temperature and continue to boil at moderate temperatures again with occasional stirring. During this time the liquid will first become blurry (emulsion from grease and water), and then it will be become clear and it will turn into a fat which you'll later use instead of cooking oil.
  4. After about 2-3 hours when the liquid becomes clear, drain the fat in another pot. Continue to fry the cracklings in the same pot until they get a nice golden-brown color. Remember to stir constantly so they don't burn.
  5. When the cracklings get their color, again remove the fat and continue to fry them for 10 more minutes.
  6. After frying, squeeze them again to drain as much ointment as possible.
  7. Transfer the squeezed djimirinki into a separate dish and add the salt and mix well. Serve them hot.

Enjoy!

12:15 AM Add Comment


Meat from wild animals is a real pleasure for gastronomic gourmets. Due to its specific nutritional value, everybody can eat it - both children and the elderly, and its main feature is that it is low in fat and rich in proteins. Because this meat is harder than meat from domestic animals, it needs a little different preparation and its preparation takes a little more time. But the final product is really worth the effort.


Main dish




Ingredients:

  • 1,5 kg wild meat
  • 1,5 kg chopped onion
  • 1 tbs Vegeta
  • 5-6 dried peppers
  • 3-4 bay leaves

  • 1/2 tbs red pepper
  • 300 ml white wine
 Preparation:
  1. First,cut meat into small pieces, put in cold water, add a glass of wine vinegar and a clove onion cut into pieces and let stand overnight. The meat is ready for use the next day when it is softened and whitened by the previous procedure.
  2. Then the next day, put meat to boil for 2 hours. During boiling, the water should be changed 2-3 times.
  3. Once you cook the meat, heat oil in a big pot and pour chopped onion to fry and to soften a little. Add meat, chopped dried peppers, Vegeta (spice), black pepper, a little red pepper, bay leaf and mix. Frying takes about 30 minutes.
  4. After that the entire mixture is poured into an earthenware pan, add white wine and place in oven to bake for about 1 hour at 220 C degrees. I like it when it forms crust on top, if you want it crust less, then bake covered with aluminum foil and uncover before the end of baking.
  5. Enjoy this great Macedonian specialty.

  • 500 g chicken livers

  • 1 leek
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 carrots
  • 1 cup crushed tomatoes
  • laurel leaf
  • pepper and salt to taste
  • oil for cooking

  4. Then add the crushed tomato puree, bay leaf and garlic, allow to cook for a few minutes and stir occasionally.
