Kebab is a fragrant and rich dish of Bulgarian cuisine that embodies the traditions of slow-cooked meat with aromatic spices and wine. Historically, kebab has been a symbol of home comfort, served in taverns and at family gatherings. Beef soaked in wine is tender and juicy, harmoniously combining with roots and spices to create a rich, slightly spicy flavor. The final thickening with flour gives the sauce a velvety texture. Kebab is versatile: it can be served with mashed potatoes, rice, or fresh salads, making it an ideal choice for a hearty lunch or dinner. This dish not only warms but also transports us to the atmosphere of warm Bulgarian evenings filled with the aromas of spices and the joy of shared meals.
