How to cook Chushki Burek?
Chushki Burek – (Peppers Burek) is a traditional dish of Bulgarian cuisine. “Chushki” is Bulgarian for “pepper”. Burek – unsweetened pastries.
For cooking, baked and peeled sweet peppers, Bulgarian cheese “Sirene” are necessary. “Sirene” is not everywhere to be found, so we will replace it with sheep cheese “Bryndza”.
Fried sweet red pepper is stuffed with a mixture of cheese, eggs and fresh herbs such as parsley or dill, then add eggs and breadcrumbs and finally deep-fried in oil until crisp.
The difficulty of the dish is to quickly fry the peppers, not allowing the juicy filling to leak out, serve them hot to the table.
The dish is usually consumed as a hot appetizer and is often accompanied by sour garlic-yogurt sauce and fresh salad.
