This is a first for me and having discovered that Yugoslavian cuisine has a bad rap for being insipid and boring, I tried to stay on the straight and narrow. In my search for a fool proof recipe I stumbled upon a Yugoslavian Roast Chicken with stuffing and a Dalmation Rice and Vegetable salad, both of which look promising.
A whole roasting chicken was cleaned and slathered with melted butter, lemon juice, sea salt and cracked pepper. A stuffing was made with diced onion and celery sauteed with sage, thyme, parsley, salt and pepper. This was combined with toasted bread cubes, egg and enough chicken broth to bind it. The bird was stuffed and roasted till golden and cooked through.
The Rice salad was made with cooked brown rice, diced cucumber, tomatoes, capers, onion and scallions. the dressing was a mixture of white wine vinegar, olive oil, crushed garlic, sugar, salt and pepper.What can I say? It was like Christmas in October. The moist chicken and nutty rice salad went perfectly together. Kids loved it!
Sadly it is time to exit Europe and head out to Africa... Cameroon is first....
