I've made all the foods mentioned here, under other names from different European nations, except for karadjordje steak, which I had to look up. Turns out it's not a traditional food, having been first concocted in 1959.
Here's a recipe for Dragomir Forschmak, I found years ago. It was listed as Serbian, though it's served in many Balkan countries. There are other variations of this dish.
I just loved the name. haven't made it in a long time.
Dragomir Forschmak
3 small onions, chopped
3 tbl butter
1 tbl flour
1/2 cup broth (beef or chicken, doesn't matter)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 drops Tabasco
2 small cooked potatoes
2 cups ham, cut in thin strips
2 small dill pickles, sliced thinly
Swiss & Cheddar cheese
Crisp bacon, optional
Saute onions in half the butter, add flour and cook, stirring for a few minutes, then stir in the broth, sour cream, Worcestershire and Tabasco. Simmer over low heat 10 minutes.
Slice the cooked potatoes and saute in the rest of the butter. Mix potatoes and sliced pickles carefully with the onion mixture. You can add crumbled bacon if desired.
Pour into a greased shallow baking dish, cover with cheese, bake at 400 degrees till cheese is browned and bubbly.
Karadjordje's steak is a Serbian dish named after the Serbian Prince Karadjordje. It is a rolled veal or pork steak, stuffed with kajmak, breaded and baked (or fried). It is served with roasted potatoes and tartar sauce.
The steak is sometimes called jokingly "maidens' dream" because of its shape.
I've never had it, but there is a huge Serbian community that has immigrated to my hometown of St Louis.
I am going home in a few weeks, dying to try some, I hear there are some outstanding Serbian restaurants there now.
Any recommendations of must have dishes?
I have had cevapcici - little spicy sausages without the casing.
It is impossible to find REAL Italian sausage in my part of Linz, Austria so I had to improvise on my spaghetti the last time I made it. I have used the baby bratwurst as a substitute also, but it's not pork sausage and the texture is different.
