Often prepared with beef meat and vegetables. Bosnians like their food to be full of diversities, cooked in its own sauce and prepared in authentic way.
Sarma - my favorite winter dish that I like to cook. Minced beef and rice are stuffed together in pickled cabbage leaves. It is then cooked, spiced additionaly and ready to eat. Can be made with vine leaves as well, but I preffer cabbage. So jummy!
Sarma
This one goes to onion lovers! Guilty! Stuffed onion leaves with minced meat and rice. Slowly cooked in sauce and eaten in short time, cause it's de-li-ci-ous

Miced meat shaped into little balls which are then cooked in tomato sauce and spiced as you preffer. I love this dish because the meat is so soft since it's cooked slowly in sauce.
Ćufte
Very popular soup among Bosnians. It contains beans, onions and carrots. Some like to put smoked beef in it for that extra flavour, but I like to keep mine simple.
Grah - bean soup
You slice potatoes in circles, put them in 'tepsija', add minced meat over them and you do it that way until 'tepsija' is full. Then you add few eggs on top and bake it. Trust me, it is delicious!
Musaka
This is the dish that were all Bosnians raised on. I have never met a single one that does not like Vrilica. In some regions it is called differently, but the process is same. Flour, hot boiling water, oil and a milk with butter for a topping. But th...

Šljivopita - pie with plums
This is my favorite bosnian desert. It is so plain and the taste is balanced. Made out of whole apple and filled with walnuts with added cream on top.

A dish that is a must on Eid day. Baklava is a sweet dish made out of walnuts, pastry and sugar syrup. I can only eat half of it since it's so sweet, but many people that I know can eat two or three!
