Recipe 1 (Venera):
Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 2/3 cups (150 grams) of yogurt
- 6 ounces (170 grams) of Bulgarian cheese (sirene) or Feta cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 4-5 phyllo sheets thawed
- olive oil (roughly about 1/3 cup which is around 100ml)
- additional yogurt for serving
TO DO 1 day before the “Cooking with the PC chairs” session:
- If the phyllo sheets are frozen, place them in the refrigerator the day before
Cookware:
- one medium bowl (min 1.5 qt/1.4 l)
- a deep plate
- one baking sheet or baking dish, about 15 inch x 10 inch x 0.75 inch (can be bigger and/or deeper) - for example, the one we are using is 15.25 x 10.25 x 0.75 inches (38.7 x 26 x 1.91 cm)
- a basting brush (to brush oil with on the phyllo sheets)
Recipe 2 (Sonia):
Ingredients:
- 1 lb (or 500 gr) minced pork meat (you can substitute with beef, or plant-based minced “meat” or even minced mushrooms)
- 2 lbs (or 1kg) sauerkraut
- 1 cup uncooked white rice (or 200 gr) (you can substitute with quinoa or another grain that cooks in maximum 25-30 min)
- about 800-900 gr Marinara pasta sauce (or any other tomato-based sauce)
- 1 medium onion
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ cup of shredded cheese (choose a cheese that melts well in the oven and does not have too strong of a taste. I usually use Mozzarella, Mild Cheddar, or Mexican Blend)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil or any other vegetable oil (if your meat is lean, we will use 2 tablespoons, otherwise 1 is enough)
Cookware:
- one 9 inch x 13 inch baking dish (or you can use whatever baking dish you have that is about 22-30 cm x 30-35 cm) - volume should be about 3 qt or 2.5-3 liters
- one pan for cooking the onion and meat
