Mish-mash, how we cook it in our family
I had to share this, as the name of my blog comes from this purely delicious Bulgarian dish.
Now I will tell you how we cook it in our family, as there are so many variations of the dish.
Apologies but the photo is not one of mine.
Mish-mash
1kg of roasted red peppers, can be mixed with green, the best are the pointy Italian ones if you want to roast them yourself, otherwise buy a large jar of ready roasted ones form any ethnic shop, the Turkish ones are very good!
1-2 small GOOD tomatoes, tinned Italian ones are just fine!
4-5 large eggs, from happy chickens of course!
400g of feta cheese, any feta cheese will do!
3 spoons of olive oil,
1 spoonful of plain flour,
a bunch of flat-leaf parsley
Heat the oil in a good frying pan and add the cut into strips roast peppers, fry for good 5 minutes, then add the flour and mix well and fry to further 10 minutes. Next add the bitten eggs and stir them through the peppers. Once they scramble, take the pan off the heat and add the feta roughly cut and scrambled and cover with a lid. Leave for 5 minutes, garnish with the chopped parsley and enjoy!
Now these roasted chillies marinated with garlic, dill and olive oil are made by my two own fair hands! My good friend Kavita loves them!

My grandmother Zdravka used to cook and my aunt now cooks amazing Mish-mash, every time we are in Bulgaria with my daughter, this is the only dish we want aunty to cook for us. She even makes a variation with raw peppers, but don't try this with shop-bought bell-peppers. Only the ones from a small, fragrant and precious village garden in Bulgaria can do the job...
