What it is
Serbia's giant grilled patty: seasoned minced beef and pork, sometimes stuffed with cheese and ham (gourmanska), served in lepinja bread with onions and kajmak. Ingredients: beef and pork mince, onion, garlic, paprika, baking soda (for springiness), salt, pepper; lepinja flatbread, kajmak cream, onions, ajvar. Recipe: 1) Mix meat with grated onion and spices; knead and rest overnight. 2) Form huge flat patties (or stuff with cheese). 3) Grill over charcoal until crusted and juicy. 4) Steam the lepinja over the grill to catch the juices. Serve: in the bread with raw onions, kajmak and ajvar — Leskovac and Novi Pazar grill-masters set the standard. Flavor: smoky, juicy, unapologetically big. History: pljeskavica grew from Balkan grill culture (its cousins span the former Yugoslavia); Leskovac's grill festival crowns its masters each year. See also: Sarma (Serbian), Ajvar.
