Kavarma

October 19, 2013

There are many recipes for the Bulgarian dish Kavarma - this is a traditional one using Pork, although the dish also exists in Beef and Chicken versions ... perfect for a cold winter evening.

800 g pork (fillet is best)
5 red peppers (the 'flat' Bulgarian ones)
4-5 onions (the larger and softer the better)
1-2 tomatoes
1 cupful button mushrooms
1 small green chilli (if you prefer your dishes spicy)
1/3 cupful white wine
Chubritza
(a Bulgarian herb - it is possible to replace with
‘Herbes de Provence’ but not the same taste!)
sprinkle of paprika
parsley (fresh and finely chopped)
half a cupful of lard or sunflower oil
salt and pepper

Cut the meat into small pieces and brown in the lard or oil. Add the onions and continue to fry until the onions are tender. Add the sliced mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes, wine, pepper, salt, paprika (optional chilli), chubritza and a splash of warm water.
