Selsko meso

Selsko meso is a traditional Macedonian dish, often served as a main course. The name translates to "village meat", reflecting its rustic origins and the simplicity of its preparation.

Ingredients

Selsko meso is typically made with pork, although variations using other meats such as beef or lamb are also common. The meat is combined with mushrooms, onions, garlic, red wine, and various herbs and spices. Some recipes also include potatoes or other vegetables.

Preparation

The preparation of Selsko meso begins with the meat being cut into chunks and browned in a pan. The onions, garlic, and mushrooms are then added and sautéed until they are soft. The mixture is deglazed with red wine, and the herbs and spices are added. The dish is then covered and simmered until the meat is tender. If potatoes or other vegetables are being used, they are added towards the end of the cooking time.

Serving

Selsko meso is typically served hot, often with a side of bread to soak up the flavorful sauce. It is a popular dish in Macedonia, particularly during the colder months, and is often served at traditional Macedonian celebrations and gatherings.

Variations

While the basic recipe for Selsko meso is fairly consistent, there are many variations. Some recipes call for the addition of tomatoes or peppers, while others include cheese or cream to create a richer sauce. The type of herbs and spices used can also vary, with some recipes calling for paprika, bay leaves, or thyme.
