SOMEEE STUFF ABOUT BANICAA!
Banitsa (banitza or banica) is one of the most popular traditional dishes in Bulgaria.
What is 196 flavors?
BULGARIAN CUISINEA Bulgarian legend says that when God created the world, he gave some countries the most beautiful sea, others the desert, others the pastures and the mountains.
When it was Bulgaria’s turn, there was nothing left to give and God took the best pieces of the other countries and offered them to Bulgaria.
People say that Bulgarian cuisine is the perfect reflection of this legend. It is representative of all the cuisines of Eastern Europe and is one of the pillars of Balkan cuisine. It shares a number of dishes with Persian, Turkish, Greek, Russian, and Middle Eastern cuisines.
Bulgarian cuisine, like most other cuisines in the Balkans, is a simple, rustic and peasant cuisine based on ingredients such as vegetables, meat (especially pork), yogurt and cheese.
Among the most popular dishes of Bulgarian cuisine, there is a wide variety of hot and cold soups, the most popular are the tarator for cold soups and chorba for hot soups, and excellent salads such as the famous shopska.
WHAT IS BANITSA?The Bulgarian word banitsa (баница) derives from the old Bulgarian (гъбнѫти) and means “to lie down”. In Bulgaria, banitsa is a symbol of Bulgarian cuisine and traditions.
Banitsa is a filled pastry that can be sweet or savory depending on the ingredients used.
Today’s recipe is the most popular and classic recipe of banitsa, a savory version based on sirene, Bulgarian yogurt and eggs.
The banitsa is prepared by placing a mixture of beaten eggs and pieces of sirene, in the center of several layers of filo pastry, before baking it.
WHAT IS SIRENE?Sirene (or sirenje) is a traditional semi-hard Bulgarian cheese made from cow’s, sheep’s or goat’s milk and kept in brine. 10 liters of milk produce about 1.5 kg of sirene.
It is a typical product that is ubiquitous at the Bulgarian table and is widely used by Bulgarians in many dishes, hot or cold. It is a slightly friable cheese, which at first sight is very similar to the Greek feta, and even the consistency or even the taste are not very different.
THE FORTUNE BANITSAOn New Year’s Eve, 10 days after the 40 days of fasting, the Bulgarians prepare the sirene-based banitsa, and fill it with wishes and messages of luck. It is a very popular custom that promises to achieve all goals and dreams and to be happy.
Traditionally, a lucky charm is placed in the heart of the banitsa, such as the trinket in the French galette des rois, and precisely for this New Year’s Eve banitsa.
This lucky charm is called kusmeti, literally “chances”, “fortunes”, or “lucky”. It can be a coin or small symbolic items like for example, and especially a small branch of dogwood, symbolizing health and longevity.
More recently, Bulgarians began to write greetings on small pieces of paper and wrap them in aluminum foil to put them in the center of the banitsa.
Kusmeti symbolize health and longevity. The dogwood branches are hidden inside the banitsa, before baking. Once baked, the banitsa is cut into as many pieces as guests, and each piece contains a branch of dogwood.
Two more pieces of banitsa are cut, one for the house and another for the Virgin Mary, protector of the family. A vow is associated with each branch and the different number of buttons on the branch makes it possible to recognize the corresponding vow.
Wishes include happiness, health, success, etc. The banitsa is then placed at the table, on a turntable, and each takes the piece that is in front of them when the rotation stops.
Then everyone finds the wish that will be answered inside their piece. The most common wishes are “happiness”, “health”, “love”, “marriage”, “birth of a baby”, and “wealth”.
In addition to kusmeti, some add a coin and/or the small pieces of paper mentioned above.
