KAFANA RECIPE FOR VEAL SOUP (TELESKA CORBA)

This recipe is from a cook that worked as a chief for many years. First lets distinguish kafana from restaurant. Kafana is simpler and cozier place than a restaurant. Not very fancy, but ideal for morning chorba, for kebapi, rakija etc. I enjoy eating beef stew in kafana and dip my bread in the garlic makalo mmmm.



Ingredients:
  • 500 g of veal meat cut into small pieces
  • 1 head of onions
  • 2 carrots
  • 2 potatoes

  • 1 root celery
  • 100 ml oil
  • 2 tablespoons of flour

  1. Fry chopped onions until soften.
