LUNCH OR DINNER FROM LOCAL INGREDIENTS
In the Soča Valley, people used to know and want to eat well. And the tradition passed from generation to generation, both in written and oral form. When the home kitchen smells, few can resist the famous culinary specialties such as chompe and cottage cheese, frika, delicious Kobariški štruklji and Bovški krafi, as well as centuries-prized cheeses with protected origin – Tolminc and Bovški sir.
We fill your culinary basket “Let’s cook together” with ingredients for preparing frika or chomp, which are suitable for a quick, tasty lunch or dinner.
Frika is a typical dish from Friuli Venezia Giulia, the capital of fried cheese called frico. However, there is no single, traditional recipe for frika. Each part of the Soča Valley left its mark, gave it its own character, and several versions of frika were created: with potatoes in the form of an omelette, with onions, leeks, eggs, bacon, salami, apples and various herbs. The only ‘required ingredient’ is processed cheese.
Ingridients
Preparation
■ Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices. Salt it and fry it in hot fat in a pan.
■ Crack the eggs, add the grated cheese, pour over the potatoes and mix.
■ Bake on one side, turn over, bake on the other side and serve. If it is toasted hard enough, the frika can be cut like a pizza, into eighths.
Serving
As a side dish, a simple seasonal salad goes best with frika, which adds the necessary freshness to the dish.
Potatoes with salty sheep’s curd is a simple and very popular appetizer in Bovec. A traditional, regionally original, organically produced appetizer consists of chomp (boiled unpeeled potatoes) and salty sheep’s curd. It used to be on the tables of the Trenta and Bovec people almost every day, as the poor land did not allow the cultivation of cereals and other crops. And although the dish is completely simple, at first glance almost poor, it impresses every eater with its excellent taste.
Ingridients
Preparation
■ Peel the unpeeled potatoes and wash them thoroughly. Shake it in a pot and pour in enough cold water to cover the potato by a finger. Add and bring to a boil. Cover the pot and cook the potatoes slowly for approx. 20 minutes.
■ Set the potatoes aside. Pour off the water, and put the pot with the potatoes on the stove for 1 to 2 minutes to steam the potatoes.
■ Meanwhile, mix cottage cheese, sour cream, salt and freshly ground white pepper in a bowl.
Serving
Cut the cooked chomps in half and place them on a warmed serving plate or in a warmed bowl. Divide the prepared cottage cheese and slices of sheep’s cheese over the potatoes. Chomps with cottage cheese are offered as a side dish or as an independent dish.
