  1. Very easy to make and a big hit with the children in the house. Tastes good too. Was a great addition to a slap up meal for a Saturday evening - perfect for when you don't really want to cook.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

What can I say? I love to cook. And I love to eat. <br> <br>As I am Bulgarian and as I live in Bulgaria I'm bound to do and to post the recipes for many typical Bulgarian or Balkan dishes - like the potato moussaka, the tikvenik and the tarator. You can check out all those and some other Bulrarian recipes posted by other people on the site in my specially devised public cookbook. I hope you try and like them. Bon apetit!
