Traditional Bulgarian Cuisine

Traditional “Banitsa”Main course: Pepper filled with rice

Bulgaria is famous for its Yoghurt.Our menu starts with a cold yoghurt and chopped cucumber soup which we call

„Tarator“.Needed ingredients: yoghurt, cucumber, walnuts, dill.

All set for the preparation. The children in the picture are 4 years old.

We grate the cucumber…

…and add yoghurt to it.

We chop the dill and add the walnuts.

Then the time comes to have a delicious meal.

For starters the 5-year-olds will prepare the traditional for Bulgaria “Banitsa”.

What we need is a pack of puff pastry, 4 eggs, sparkling water, cow‘s milk feta and

some oil.

We lay the pastry in a backing tin with some cheese and a few drops of oil on each of them. We use up the whole pastry pack.

We smash the eggs and add the sparkling water. The mixture is then poured in the

baking tin. We bake the Banitsa in a medium heated oven.

The children decided that the main course should consist of pepper filled with rice and

minced meat

We cleaned the peppers from their seeds …

…and filled them with the previously cooked rice and minced meat

We arranged the filled peppers in a backing tin and they are ready for the oven.

Our peppers are ready. They taste the best with our favorite yoghurt.

Here comes the dessert prepared by our 3-year-olds: yoghurt with resins and honey.

We need a few clay pots, yoghurt, resins and honey.

We share the yoghurt out into the clay pots.

Finally, we fill up the resins and pour the honey on.

With the teacher’s help we wrap them, so that the different flavors can mix.

We look forward to a delicious meal!

• Needed products: 1 kg flour, 1 tsp salt, a cup of milk, a cup of yoghurt, 4 eggs, 1 l sugar, 1

yeast and a good rolling pin.

Bread is a compulsory part of the Bulgarian dining. The bread can take different shapes.

Our bread today will be sun-shaped. It is being made by older children, aged 7.

The flour must be sift out.

We knead the dough.

Then, we let the dough relax for a while so that it can rise.

The handiest of all rolls out the dough.

We cut them in triangular form and roll them in.

There is a piece for every child.

We smear some yolk on, so that it can gets a nice crust.

Satisfied with their work but still hungry.

The meal today is prepared entirely by the children from kindergarten “Latinka”!

Bon appetit!
