  1. National dish of Bulgaria! the recipe below uses shop-bought bought which is way easier This pie turned out so fantastic! Thank you so much @taralezhkov Ingredients 1 packet filo pastry (go to your local Eastern European / Turkish shop for the og stuff. Mainstream Bulgarian brands are Bella and Familia. For this recipe you want thin filo. You can use the French brand from the big supermarkets but the sheets are smaller so it’s more faff) 4 eggs 100g yoghurt 100g feta 150g leek, chopped 250g butter Salt 26-30cm tall sides pan or cake form or deep ovenproof pan lined with baking paper. Method Topping: Mix one egg, two tablespoons of yoghurt and a pinch of salt. Set aside as you’ll use it at the very end. Filling: saute the leek and get it nice and soft in some 50g of butter. Salt to taste. Set aside to cool as you don’t want your eggs to cook when you mix them in. Once cooled crumble the feta into the leek, add the remaining yoghurt and finally the 3 eggs. Preheat your oven to 180 fan. Melt the remaining butter and butter up the pan you’ll be using. Open up the filo packet. You want to butter up generously with a brush or spoon then scatter a spoon or two of the filling on your filo. Then roll up 3 sheets into a filo sausage, not too tight but not too loose either, and coil up to create the central roll. It will be the beginning of your spiral 🌀. If it’s too tight it will break especially at this stage. No biggie if it does btw. Keep joining until you fill your entire tray. Any remaining butter can go around in the cracks. Pour the egg and yoghurt topping and bake for 45-55 min in the oven till golden. (Optionally sprinkle some sesame seeds on top if you’re feeling bouji) Let cool for 10-15 min before taking out of the tin. #bulgaria #bulgaria🇧🇬 #bulgariatourism #bulgarianature #bulgarianfood #banitsa

  3. It’s been crazy overwhelming with the positive energy that came my way since the show has aired 4 weeks ago. Thank you everyone for the kindest messages. Genuinely didn’t know what to expect when I initially embarked on this journey. Just want to say a few things about why I agreed to join the panel of MasterChef, what my motivation is and answer some of the questions I often get asked these days. Through food I found my voice and a way to connect with my roots and culture that wasn’t as prominent during my design career. Food is possibly the strongest link to home - the Balkans. When agreeing to do the show I had a reason to spend time in my Bulgarian home - Sofia! I believe in the shared history and food culture of the region and I am perpetually excited about it. Hence why I felt my participation on the show could bring a view that is seldom echoed with audiences in the motherland :). I want to inspire and be inspired by people that believe we can create convincing grassroots culinary worlds and nurture an exciting and dynamic Balkan food scene. I hope to be one reason for likeminded people to get together around the idea. We often underestimate what we have locally while we gaze at the world around us. We can strong in our heritage and invite the world in! Someone recently said that Bulgarian restaurants can’t win a Michelin star with koftas. BULLS**T! Of course they can. And that would be the only genuine way to do it. Do we even want and need stars? Why define Balkan culture with a Franco-centric award of excellence. The one thing I’ve trying to tell all the contestants is what I like to go by myself. Critical thinking! Being able to pull yourself out of a situation and make the right decision is paramount to creating beautiful food and inspiring recipes. As modern humans we are blessed with all the information and knowledge the world could give and cursed to be overwhelmed and unable to sort through it. Think! Food should be enjoyable. Of course we strive for greatness but how we get there is up to us. Food creates magical worlds and I’m so excited to see these worlds come to life! #balkanfood #bulgarianfood @masterchefbg

  1. Slow cooked harissa lamb shoulder 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑 Using the best lamb in town from @gingerpigltd , this was slow cooked (120 degrees) for 8 hours until ridiculously soft and tender and just absolutely banging. So the day before, I poked a load of holes in the lamb and stuffed some garlic bits in there, which kinda just melts into the meat whilst it’s cooking and it’s just the best. Then the lamb got spread in a coating of Middle Eastern spices, then slathered in a bath of harissa (@lamiriharissa always) and lemon zest, and left to marinade overnight. Following morning I’m searing it on the bbq just to get some nice colour on the outside but also to add a bit of extra flavour (can just do this on the hob or skip altogether). After that, lay her on a bed of onions, garlic, rosemary and thyme, and stick in a half bot of white / rose wine (whatever you’ve got lying around from the weekend) and a pint of chicken stock or water, and wrap her up nice and tight. After 8 hours you’ve got lamb that will MELT IN YOUR MOUTH IM SERIOUS. Serve on a bed of bulgar wheat / cous cous / giant cous cous / rice (whatever you fancy) mixed with some roasted veg (again, whatever you’ve got - red onion, courgette, pepper etc etc). Additional things for added vibe: pomegranate, feta, mint, pine nuts or almond flakes. Flat bread with hummus / tsatsiki as well obvs you know that’s not gonna be bad. I served on a sort of big board cos I’m rustic and unpredictable af Love always, Rob on the hob - - - - - - #food #foodporn #foodie #instafood #foodphotography #foodstagram #yummy #foodblogger #foodlover #instagood #love #delicious #follow #like #healthyfood #homemade #dinner #lamb #tasty #photooftheday #foodies #restaurant #cooking #lunch #picoftheday #bhfyp #foodpics #instagram #healthy #chef

  2. Beef short rib ragu 🍝🍝🍝🍝🍝 I know this dish seems slightly intimidating cos it takes like 4-5 hours to cook, but i promise it was actually really straightforward. Short ribs are cheap, you can get them at any butcher, and after they’ve been cooked for 3-4 hours they literally melt in your mouth. METHOD: So, make a sofrito (finely chopped up or blended) onions, carrots and celery 🤌 Wrap up fresh sage, bay leaf, rosemary and thyme with some butchers string (butcher gave it to me for free, just ask nicely) Salt and pep your short ribs and fry off each side in a roaring hot pan or heavy bottomed pot. Don’t miss this step, the browned meat is pure flava. Take out the meat and throw in your sofrito, again cook for 10 mins or so. Really cook it down to unleash those flavours, then add in a ton of garlic and some tomato paste. Cook for 5 mins. Then dump in about half a bottle of red 🍷 Bubble away to reduce the wine, then throw in a whole tin of tomatoes. Slap in your short ribs and add a pint of stock (chicken stock is my preference cos I find the beef stock a bit intense, or just water will also do) until your ribs are nicely submerged. Add in your tied up herbs AND a Parmesan rind (just do it. Don’t ask questions it makes the sauce pack SUCH a punch) Slap a heavy lid on, cook on low for 3-5 hours. Shred and then add to some delicious rigatoni, taglietelle. Whatever you want. Be sure to serve this for people you like, cos they’re gonna be in awe of you. Love and hugs. it’s great to be back, Rob on the Hob x - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #beefragu #pasta #ragu #foodie #italianfood #food #tagliatelle #pastalover #instafood #bolognese #freshpasta #foodporn #dinner #foodphotography #lasagne #beef #foodlover #healthyfood #lasagna #foodblogger #homecooking #foodstagram #cheese #slowcookedbeef #comfortfood #homemade #pappardelle #latergram #handmade #spaghetti

  1. Do you love #thaifood? If the answer is yes, then you need to get yourself and all your Thai food loving friends over to @farangldn where @sebbyholmes, @charlie_whatley and team are cooking up an authentic Thai storm. First of all I want to say thank you to @sebbyholmes for sorting out such a wonderful experience. The kitchen visit to see the tasty Crab Miang bites being prepared was amazing. Wow to all secret ingredients that go into making this such a complex and delicious dish! And thank you to @charlie_whatley for taking us through the dishes journey. Now to the food! It all starts with the right ingredients and well the team at @farangldn have put so much love into sourcing the best quality and authentic Thai ingredients possible (From Thailand). And this really delivers in the form of beautifully balanced and flavourful dishes. The meal itself was wonderful! We opted to go for the feasting menu and well, FEAST it was. Absolutely banging from start to finish! 7 dishes for £60! These are NOT tapas size portions these are crafted and refined dishes like you get in Thailand. The clue is in the name, these are FEASTING sized dishes perfect for sharing. It’s difficult to pick a favourite as they were all so bloody good, but if I had to it would be the Crab Miang or the Seabass! Dishes include: ✅ Crispy coconut and aubergine with Nahm Prik Pao dipping sauces ✅Crab and Trout Roe Miang Bites made with seasonal fruits, coconut, chilli and lime in a savoury tamarind caramel ✅Succulent and spicy Gai Prik - beer battered chicken thighs gIazed in a sticky fish sauce, topped with herbs, lime and Birds Eye chilli. ✅Cured prawn, green mango, toasted cashew nut and sour fruit salad! (Also a favourite) ✅whole sharing Seabass with coconut, lime and lemongrass, crispy onions, topped with samphire, roast rice, curry leaves and fried garlic and crispy shallots. ✅ Spicy stir fried pork, seasonal greens, white pepper, soy, chilli and sweet Thai basil. ✅Served with Jasmine rice, sticky rice, and a delicious garlic and turmeric roti! If you couldn’t tell, I would 100% recommend. Always a pleasure dining with great company! @catti_gram @sadiausman1402 @didilangenhoven
