If you liked the Hungarian version of cabbage rolls, then you need to dig deeper into that dish. Every Balkan country has their own version of it, heck every family has its own recipe. ^^ In former Yugolslavian states such as Slovenija, Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, et cetera...they all have this dish and it is called Sarma there. Try a Sarma with some homemade mashed potatoes, but European/Balkan style mashed ones, not American.. ^^ Next would be then stuffed bell peppers. The inside is minced meat and rice with parsley and s& lots of p, paprika powder, garlic. The rice is filled in the meat in raw condition. This is no good right after done, because it is still kind of hard. Turn the heat off, lid on leave it there for two to three hours sitting/soaking. After that the rice expanded so much, it made everything fluffy . Use green bell peppers only. For the sauce: Red bell peppers bake in the oven and turn until every side was once up. If they brun their skin and get smokey, even better. like 40 minutes at 200°C and no, I am not converting that. Let them cool them down a while, then peel the skin and seeds to get filets. Don't throw the juices away, do it over a sieve with a bowl below. Fry onions/garlic in some neutral oil until glossy, but not brown, so slowly. Add some tomato paste, fry that too, turn the heat up, add a pinch of sugar and be quick, add the filets and stir, add some thin veggie broth to deglaze it and let that cook for 40 minutes, until everything is supersoft. Use a hand blender to make all that a smooth sauce. Pour the sauce an inch high in a large baking pan, where all the stuffed paprika fit in standing up, so where the stem was and now the meat/rice filling is in look to the sky. So, arrange and allign the bell peppers in the baking pan, and then pour the rest of the sauce all over them. You need to have so much sauce it covers them either entirely or almost entirely. Lid on that huge baking pan. Bräter it's called here. Put that thing in the oven for an hour at 200 °C, turn it off and serve that with mashed potatoes...well, after that resting time, don't forget that.
Nice video! 👏🏼 Not offended at all. I'm glad you liked your stay and the food here! I need to add that lake Balaton is also a nice place to relax. Have you had a chance to try the recipe I sent you?
Thank you for watching! Yes, Balaton is very peaceful. 🙏🙏 No! It keeps slipping my mind... 🤦♀️ I need to look at it again and shop for the ingredients!!
nice! I will go out there and create the world! I have no plans of going to Europe yet but it sounds like it was an awesome trip! can't wait to see where you go next.
That is exactly how I was. No expectations, but it was such a positive vibe everywhere I went. I also think we were there at a good time. It was nice weather and no rain. From what I hear, that is a rarity. haha Also, loving the AUS content on IG!

From the sounds of it your Asian Odyssey will be even more exciting! Appreciate ya watching man. Also, let's chat soon, I have an idea.
We didn’t have any expectations for Belgium and it turned out to be one of our favourites also! A seriously underrated country to visit.

Where are you originally from, Chris?
🇩🇪 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Family trip soon! When Selva can eat the bread😂😂
Bike capitol of the World Kobnhavn? Ehm, are you sure? Because Amsterdam, d'uh!?
Freiburg in Germany has more bikes, than citizens.
Copenhagen and Amsterdam are certainly on the same level and in Germany Münster still has the reputation of being the cycling city.
@@nettcologne9186 TIL...thx 🙂
Bro, you forgot Poland… wtf?
Yes, that is in the list of countries I have yet to visit. But it is on the list! Will I know any locals/expats when I make the trip??? 😉
