First time trying traditional SERBIAN FOOD at a 200-yr old KAFANA! 🇷🇸

smoked meat

🥗Healthier: smoked tofu

💰Cheaper: cooked beans

Smoked tofu provides a vegetarian option while cooked beans reduce costs.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: sunflower oil

Olive oil offers healthier fats, while sunflower oil is often less expensive.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Sauté onions in vegetable oil until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add chopped carrots and cook for another 3 minutes.

Stir in paprika and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Layer half of the sliced potatoes in a baking dish.

Spread half of the sautéed onion mixture over the potatoes.

Add a layer of cooked beans and season with salt and pepper.

Place the remaining potatoes on top, followed by the rest of the onion mixture.

Add bay leaves and pieces of smoked meat on top.

Pour water over the layers until just covered.

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour.

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes until golden and crispy on top.
