Yesterday my counterpart, Nataliya, took me to her parents’ house in a nearby village to preserve some of the surplus veggies from their garden by making lyutenitza. Here are some photos.
Once school starts I will probably do some things that don’t involve the preparation and consumption of food.
Were still waiting for our tomatoes. Do the eggplant & peppers get mixed with the tomatoes?
Yup. After the tomatoes are cooked down the ground-up eggplant and peppers, minus skin, are thrown in with garlic and spices and cooked a little longer.
What are those spices.
Just chili powder (Bulgarians aren’t very creative with their spices, if you ask me). I think it would also be good with some basil!
Aiii. Not so safe to re-can with used lids like that…. but if it works for them (and granny’s lasted this long), why not!
Lovin’ the blog.
Granny’s actually 55. Just kidding she’s 88!
Thanks for reading! I think you would love Bulgaria if you and Banjo Boy are ever looking for a vacation destination.
I’ll add it to the list!
