Prep:2h 10minCook:15min
This recipe is inspired by one of the most wonderful dish the Mrs and I tried on our visit to Bulgaria this summer. It is very close to the Turkish dish, Cilbir, and similar dishes in the Balkans. But, the Bulgarians have adapted this dish to their own tastes and culture, such as using Bulgarian yoghurt and Bulgarian white cheese. My interpretation of this Bulgarian dish that originated from uses easily available ingredients from your local market. So, if you want to try something different and tasty, I do recommend you give this a try.
