kitchen Angst!

Friganice are another type of Croatian fritter, only these are easier to prepare and require less oil to fry. They are more along the lines of a doughy thick pancake.

Ingredients:

1 egg

1/2 kg flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon sugar

one glass ( 8oz. ) milk

1 teaspoon vanilla sugar

combine all the ingredients in a bowl and fry in about 2 in. of oil, until golden on one side, flip, and finish cooking ( about 4 to 6 minutes on each side ). Remove from the oil, let them drain, and dust heavily with powdered sugar. And Now ENJOY!!

now as I said yesterday these recipes were given to me in the Croatian way of writing recipes, I have done my best to translate them into a form that Americans can follow. I haven’t had the time to test them out on my own, so they may need some tweaking. As I get into the kitchen and try them, I will keep you posted on any changes that I my come across, likewise If you try them and find you are having trouble… PLEASE LET ME KNOW! I would love the feed back, and any advice or adjustments that you may find necessary.

My friends favorite meal is Pasticada with Gnocchi: A national Dalmatian dish using veal that has been soaked in vinegar for a few days before prepared. I want to bring this to you soon as well, This is a fine example of a dish that is more regional, and less International, just my cup of tea!

I am planning a trip to visit Him and the area in May of this year, I will be eating my way through as much of the region as I can, I promise to share my discoveries with you as I go! He has also promised at least a day trip to Venice, Italy, A city I have always wanted to see. May won’t come quick enough for me I’m afraid.
