RECIPES WITH MEAT, POULTRY, FISH & SEAFOOD

This is rather large category, as it includes a big selection of traditional Balkan recipes with meat, poultry, fish and seafood.
Balkan people are particularly fond of meat. For centuries, families in the villages have been farming animals for self consumption. Although, predominantly, the oldest traditional Balkan dishes are made with lamb, there is a great number of recipes with pork, beef and chicken.
Fish and seafood are most accessible near the sea. All traditional recipes with seafood come from these areas.
My meat, poultry and seafood recipes make a fantastic main course. Some are also great to serve as a starter or finger food.
