Grzane wino (Mulled wine)

Karolina — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 21:25:05 +0000

Last night me and Maciej decided to make Polish hot mulled wine, also known as Grzaniec Galicyjski. This beverage is the best drink for long winter evenings, it helps you to survive the cold nights.

I love when the warm and sweet aroma of mulled wine fills the house.

Here is the recipe in case you guys want to make it yourselves.

Ingredients:

- red wine

- nutmeg

- ginger

- cinnamon stick

- cloves

- bay leaf

- allspice

- brown sugar or honey

- shreded orange peel

- orange juice

- slices of lemon and mandarins

Preparation:

In a small saucepan mix all the dry spices with sugar and water. Bring to boil and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Slice the mandarins and lemons, squeeze the oranges. Combine everything in a bigger saucepan, bring just to the boil and immediately remove from the heat. Strain and pour into mugs.

It is freezing cold here in Sofia.

Cebularz – Polish onion cake.

Me a and Maciej decided to make this rare polish Jewish specialty, the recipe comes from the eastern part of Poland where Maciej lived once in a life time. To his surprise this baked dish is served only in the area where he lives! When we first he if i have ever tried this simple and unique dish but my simple answer was NO I DIDN’T! About a week ago Maciej discovered this wonderful cooking blog called “Zapiecek” from which we copied the idea to make cebularz. If you know polish you can read about it here. Tomorrow I am going to share some with my friends from my work place, and I can’t wait for their reaction!

SURVA 2010

Surva is the International Festival of the Masquerade Games in Pernik. It is the biggest event of this type not only in Bulgaria but on the Balkan Peninsula. It promotes variations of ancient Bulgarian customs that are still alive today. These are an important part of the Bulgarian folklore tradition and are meant to be performed by single men and women. With its competitive nature, the festival is not only a venue but also a contest for the living vessels of this tradition, namely the Kukeri and Survakari.

I know that buying ballerinas for winter is not a good idea. But who cares?
