Kuvar Endi Hirnden sa Novog Zelanda na društvenim mrežama poznatiji kao "Andy Cooks" koga prati šest miliona ljudi samo na TikTok-u, objavio je recept za pljeskavicu sa ajvarom koju je "krstio" kao Balkan burger pljeskavica. Specijalitet izazvao je podeljena mišljenja (ajvar je kamen spoticanja) u komentarima ispod snimka koji je objavio na svom zvaničnom nalogu.
Najviše pažnje privukao je ajvar. Balkan burger – pljeskavica se po receptu Endija sprema tako što je prethodno ispečene i oguljene paprike i patlidžan stavio u blender zajedno s sirćetom i uljem.
Na snimku oduševljeno jede burger sa njegovom verzijom ajvara. Ali, pre nego što si izgovorio „ajvar“ su u komentarima usledile kritike.
„Pravi ajvar ne izgleda kao pašteta“, „Ne mogu da verujem da je ajvar spremio u blenderu“, „Ovo je smrtna uvreda za ljude s Balkana“, „Ovo je tako pogrešno na mnogo načina“, „Gde si našao recept? Na Temuu?“, neke su od njih.
Zasmetao im je i ajvar kombinovan sa sosom koji je napravljen od kisele pavlake, krem sira i fete.
@andy_cooks Balkan Burger – Pljeskavica Ingredients: – 500g (1 lb 2 oz) lamb mince – 500g (1 lb 2 oz) 80/20 beef mince – 1 brown onion, grated – 3 cloves garlic, minced – 2 tbsp paprika – 1 tsp baking powder – 2 tbsp salt – 1 tsp black pepper – 100ml (3½ fl oz) soda water – 3 red capsicums (bell peppers) – 1 eggplant (Aubergine**)** – 1 red chilli – 20ml (4 tsp) olive oil – 20ml (4 tsp) white vinegar – 100g (3½ oz) feta cheese – 250ml (9 fl oz) sour cream – 125 g (4½ oz) cream cheese – 1 white onion, sliced – 6 white bap rolls Method: 1. To make the burger patties, mix together the lamb mince, beef mince, grated onion, minced garlic, paprika, baking powder, 2 tablespoons of salt, black pepper, and soda water. Mix with your hands for 5-6 minutes, then refrigerate for 1 hour. After chilling, form the mixture into six equal patties, roughly 165g each (about the size of a teacup saucer). 2. To make the Ajvar (red pepper sauce), drizzle the capsicums, eggplant, and red chilli with olive oil, and roast them in a 200°C (390°F) oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, place in a bowl, and cover with a lid to steam for another 15 minutes. 3. Peel the skins from the vegetables and remove the seeds from the capsicums. Place the vegetables in a blender with a pinch of salt, the remaining olive oil, and the white vinegar. Blend until smooth and set aside. 4. To make the Kajmak (soft cheese spread), mix together the sour cream, cream cheese, and feta until smooth. 5. When ready to cook, pan-fry the burger patties for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Toast the bap rolls in the same pan. 6. To assemble the burger, spread some Ajvar on the bottom bun and Kajmak on the top bun. Place the cooked burger patty on the bottom bun, top with sliced white onions, and close with the top bun. #cooking #food #recipe #burger #foryou #viral ♬ FEIN sped up – ⁹⁹⁹
Uprkos tome što su ga mnogi kritikovali, bilo je i onih ljudi koji su pohvalili njegov trud i naveli da nema ništa sporno u tome što je pripremio ajvar na jedinstven način.
Poslednjih meseci na TikToku jako je popularna priprema balkanske hrane, pre svega doručka koji obiluje hlebom, sirom, suhomesnatim proizvodima, povrćem itd. Mnogim strancima nije jasno kako ljudi s Balkana mogu da doručkuju ovako jak obrok.
