Shopska Salad (Bulgarian Tomato, Cucumber & Sirene) 🥗

The flag on a plate: red tomatoes, green peppers, white sirene cheese grated into a snowfall over the top. Named after the Shopski region, this is Bulgaria's national starter — no vinegar in the bowl, just sun-ripe vegetables, onion, parsley, a splash of the strained tomato juice as dressing, and that snow you shake off the grater.

Modo de preparo

  1. 1

    Dice tomatoes, cucumber and pepper into rustic chunks; layer them on a wide plate with the onion rings and parsley.

  2. 2

    Dress simply: salt, the tomato juices you saved from the board, and oil poured in a thin stream.

  3. 3

    Tuck cubes of sirene through the salad so they touch the vegetables.

  4. 4

    The signature move: grate a generous snowfall of sirene over the entire plate from above.

  5. 5

    Serve immediately with bread — the snow melts into the tomato juice, and that mix is the reason for the dish.
