Main meals
Often prepared with beef meat and vegetables. Bosnians like their food to be full of diversities, cooked in its own sauce and prepared in authentic way.
Sarma - my favorite winter dish that I like to cook. Minced beef and rice are stuffed together in pickled cabbage leaves. It is then cooked, spiced additionaly and ready to eat. Can be made with vine leaves as well, but I preffer cabbage. So jummy!
This one goes to onion lovers! Guilty! Stuffed onion leaves with minced meat and rice. Slowly cooked in sauce and eaten in short time, cause it's de-li-ci-ous
Rice is popular in Bosnia and it is used in many dishes like this one. Stuffed bell papers are dish that is often on menu. Bells are stuffed with meat, rice and spices and then are slowly cooked on medium heat in tomate sauce.

You're gonna love this one. It is grilled minced meat, mostly beef. When ordered, it comes with somun, authentic bread, and chopped onions. Everybody loves these. I preffer mine with LOTS of onions.

This is my favorite bosnian desert. It is so plain and the taste is balanced. Made out of whole apple and filled with walnuts with added cream on top.
A dish that is a must on Eid day. Baklava is a sweet dish made out of walnuts, pastry and sugar syrup. I can only eat half of it since it's so sweet, but many people that I know can eat two or three!
Sweet dough soaked in sugar syrup with walnut or lemon on top as a decoration. Some of them are made with coconut flour.
I love this one because you can fill it with any type of filling. I love to make mine with Plazma biscuit and chocolate filling.
