Mish-mash (food)
Mish-mash (in Bulgarian: ''Миш-маш'') is a Bulgarian spring dish made with fresh vegetables (typically tomatoes, peppers and onions), eggs and sirene (a type of Balkan brined cheese), and often garnished with freshly cut parsley. There are variations in which garlic, scallions, eggplant, okra or carrots are added to the dish. There are variations without sirene and without onion as well. Preparation, serving and consumption Traditionally, mish-mash is made from chopped peppers and tomatoes, which are stewed in hot oil over medium heat. Peppers can be pre-roasted and peeled or cut raw. After that, eggs and feta cheese are added to the mixture to thicken. Parsley is added last, just before putting the mish-mash off heat. It is also possible to prepare the dish in the oven. It is sometimes convenient to prepare the stewed vegetables beforehand and just add eggs and cheese before consumption. There is no one recipe for making mish-mash, and many different variations of the di ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Scallion
Scallions (also known as green onions and spring onions) are edible vegetables of various species in the genus ''Allium''. Scallions generally have a milder taste than most onions. Their close relatives include garlic, shallots, leeks, chives, and Allium chinense, Chinese onions. The leaves are eaten both raw and cooked. Scallions produce hollow, tubular, green leaves that grow directly from the bulb, which does not fully develop. This is different to other ''Allium'' species where bulbs fully develop, such as commercially available onions and garlic. With scallions, the leaves are what is typically chopped into various dishes and used as garnishes. Etymology and naming The names ''scallion'' and ''shallot'' derive from the Old French ''eschalotte'', by way of ''eschaloigne'', from the Latin ''Ascalōnia caepa'' or "Ascalonian onion", a namesake of the ancient Eastern Mediterranean coastal city of Ascalon. Other names used in various parts of the world include spring onion ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Vegetable Dishes
Vegetables are edible parts of plants that are consumed by humans or other animals as food. This original meaning is still commonly used, and is applied to plants collectively to refer to all edible plant matter, including flowers, fruits, stems, leaves, roots, and seeds. An alternative definition is applied somewhat arbitrarily, often by culinary and cultural tradition; it may include savoury fruits such as tomatoes and courgettes, flowers such as broccoli, and seeds such as pulses, but exclude foods derived from some plants that are fruits, flowers, nuts, and cereal grains. Originally, vegetables were collected from the wild by hunter-gatherers and entered cultivation in several parts of the world, probably during the period 10,000 BC to 7,000 BC, when a new agricultural way of life developed. At first, plants that grew locally were cultivated, but as time went on, trade brought common and exotic crops from elsewhere to add to domestic types. Nowadays, most ve ...

Carrot
The carrot ('' Daucus carota'' subsp. ''sativus'') is a root vegetable, typically orange in colour, though heirloom variants including purple, black, red, white, and yellow cultivars exist, all of which are domesticated forms of the wild carrot, ''Daucus carota'', native to Europe and Southwestern Asia. The plant probably originated in Iran and was originally cultivated for its leaves and seeds. The carrot is a biennial plant in the umbellifer family, Apiaceae. World production of carrots (combined with turnips) for 2022 was 42 million tonnes, led by China producing 44% of the total. The characteristic orange colour is from beta-carotene, making carrots a rich source of vitamin A. A myth that carrots help people to see in the dark was spread as propaganda in the Second World War, to account for the ability of British pilots to fight in the dark; the real explanation was the introduction of radar.

Bulgarian Language
Bulgarian (; , ) is an Eastern South Slavic, Eastern South Slavic language spoken in Southeast Europe, primarily in Bulgaria. It is the language of the Bulgarians. Along with the closely related Macedonian language (collectively forming the East South Slavic languages), it is a member of the Balkan sprachbund and South Slavic languages, South Slavic dialect continuum of the Indo-European language family. The two languages have several characteristics that set them apart from all other Slavic languages, including the elimination of grammatical case, case declension, the development of a suffixed definite article, and the lack of a verb infinitive. They retain and have further developed the Proto-Slavic language, Proto-Slavic verb system (albeit analytically).

Brined Cheese
Brined cheese, also sometimes referred to as pickled cheese for some varieties, is cheese that is matured in brine in an airtight or semi-permeable container. This process gives the cheese good stability, inhibiting bacterial growth even in warmer climates. Brined cheeses may be soft or hard, varying in moisture content and in colour and flavour according to the type of milk used. However, all are rindless and generally taste clean, salty and acidic when fresh, developing some piquancy when aged; most are white. Brine is used in the production of other cheeses, notably washed-rind cheeses, but the term is reserved for cheeses where maturation takes place while submerged in brine. List Brined cheese is widely produced and eaten in the Middle East and Mediterranean areas. Brined cheeses include: * Akkawi (Levant) * Balkánský sýr (Czechia and Slovakia) * Bryndza (Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Ukraine, Russia) * Chechil (Armenia) * Cherni Vit (Bulgaria) * Domiati (Egypt) * ...
