We spent most of the Easter Weekend with friends cooking. The husbands took turns to cook meals for the girls so we could have some "time off". On Good Friday Percy made pancakes and savoury mince, on Saturday Dirk made Nazi Goreng (a Indonesian dish) and on Sunday it was our turn.Riaan made an awesome bacon and salami Pasta with creamy cheese sauce and I made a side dish called Gibanica (pronounced Gib-a-nee-zah).Man, it was the shizzle!!! I got the recipe from a Yugoslavian friend a while ago and had never tried it. I thought it was the perfect opportunity for everyone to try something "different". Its so easy to make and fairly cheap too. I will certainly be making it as a side dish at braais (aka barbeques) in future. Here's my version of the recipe:1 tub Original Feta Cheese1/2 tub Black Pepper Feta Cheese600ml Bulgarian Plain Yoghurt1 tub smooth cottage cheese (I use Philidephia)50ml butterPacket of Phyllo Pastry10 EggsCrumb Feta Cheese into a BowlMix in the Yoghurt, Cottage Cheese and 8 eggsGrease a flat baking dishLay down 3 layers of pastry and let the dough flop over the sidesAdd a layer of the mixtureContinue layering until you fill the dish.Place 3 layers of pastry on the top and fold the first bottom layers to make an "envelope".Mix the remaining two eggs and a little milk together and brush on the top,Poke a few holes in the topBake in a pre-heated oven at 180 degrees C for about 40 minutes or until the top goes golden.Its yummy hot or cold!
