Pindzur | Gurmano

The table becomes place for a panel discussion: “For the longest time I have believed that pindjur is something made of green peppers, garlic and eggplants”. “So have I”, somebody adds, “but we have both green and red pindjur.

Or the “old school” – some rakija to warm you up, some bread, pindjur and that’s it. “Or with a burger, some barbeque…” “With bread and cheese – a classic!”.
