As part of the preparations for the publication of the book Traditional recipes of Serbian cuisine it was the turn of the specialties of eastern and southern Serbia: prpeć, samsa, trjanica and pounded salad. Despite the great heat, we prepared and photographed the aforementioned specialties. And, of course – enjoyed the tasting!

Samsa

Samsa pita is a favorite recipe from Vranje, and many call it the only true brand from Vranje. It is an empty pie made of leafy (twisted) crusts, which, immediately after baking, is poured with a mixture of sour milk (some people like to add a little cream, even cheese) and chopped garlic.

Rubbish

A favorite salad of southern and eastern Serbia, it is made from dried peppers and leeks, and rubbing the "meat" of dried peppers during preparation is the reason why this salad got its name.
