Macedonian food

I'm absolutely in LOVE with Macedonian cuisine!
Everything here is very healthy and natural. Fruit and vegetables are very common in our diet, the meat is always fresh and most of our food is prepared from scratch.

In my family, we always have at least three salads to go along with whatever we are eating. Salads in Macedonia, unlike in the States, are usually made with vinegar, salt and olive oil; we don't have pre-made salad dressings here.

Bellow are some pictures of my favorite food items.

Sarma, a mix of rice and ground beef wrapped in cabbage

Leak and cheese pie, one of my favorite meals in the world 

Traditional Macedonian-style beans with red pepper spice cooked in the oven 

A mix of cooked green peppers and tomatoes, very fresh and yummy

Cheese (cow, goat or mixed) and yogurt are my two favorite milk products in Macedonia

Burek, one of my favorite breakfast food item, is usually stuffed with cheese, ground beef, spinach, or pizza stuff
It originated from Turkey, as did many other things from the Macedonian cuisine, because of their rule in Macedonia for a period of 5 centuries

Cheese burek with yogurt

Green salad made with olive oil, vinegar, salt and garlic
