Sonja's 'Ajdov Ujevak' (Buckwheat Flat Bread)

I had a memorable day yesterday. I got a surprise package in my mailbox; my dear friend Sonja (from Slovenia) made a few things with her hands and sent it to me....20 000 km away! She made me cry and she made my day! Two of her amazing cards, beautifully smelling lavanda wreath, and dried WILD STRAWBERRIES from Slovenian forests. 

Thank you Sonja, you will never know what that meant to me.

Following recipe is from a cookbook, that she sent me some time ago. I make it often, as it is quick,  delicious and healthy.

Ingredients:
3 eggs
3/4 -1 cup buckwheat flour
1/2 l sparkling water
salt and pepper
oil / butter for pan
seeds of your choice for sprinkling on top (optional)

Method:
Preheat oven to 200*C, prepare a (deep pizza) pan.
Beat seasoned  eggs, add flour and mineral water. Pour into the tin, sprinkle with seeds and bake 8-10 minutes, lower temperature to 180 *C and bake for another 10-12 minutes. Serve warm or cold (with avocado, cheese, ham, tomato..)

Hungarian Goulash Slovenian Way

I befriended many people that I met through blogging. One of them is Sonja from Slovenia. She is a very creative and talented card maker and blogger. Her blog is called 'Na obisku pri Oldpunci'.
Sonja sent to me a book of recipes from a part of Slovenia that is very close to Hungary, so recipes are mixture of Slovenian and Hungarian influence in cooking. I've tried a few recipes from that book, and I'm glad I can share it with you.
Thank you Sonja!

Madjarski Gulaš na Slovenački način

Kroz blogiranje sam upoznala mnoge i sprijateljila se s nekima. Jedna od dragih prijateljica mi je Sonja iz Slovenije. Ona je veoma talentovana i kreativna u izradi cestitki i blogiranju. Njen blog se zove 'Na obisku pri Oldpunci'.
Sonja mi je nedavno poslala knjigu recepata iz dijela Slovenije koji se granici sa Madjarskom, tako da je interesantno vidjeti mjesavinu uticaja ove dvije zemlje  na pripremu hrane. Isprobala sam nekoliko recepata, koje cu rado podijeliti s vama.
Hvala puno Sonja!
