kiflina or Solenki are savoury baked snacks with a bread-like texture. They usually have a filling of some sort such as feta, and they are usually scattered with sesame seeds.

Tavče Gravče (Baked Beans)

The ultimate comfort food, Macedonian baked beans are cooked slowly with paprika powder, Macedonian salami (kolbasi) or minced meat patties.

Ajvar

Ajvar is one of the most popular foods in the Balkans, and it holds a special place in Macedonian cuisine. It is a red capsicum relish with eggplant and other ingredients. It is best eaten with freshly baked bread and cheese. Simple but unbeatable.

Polneti Piperki

Stuffed Capsicums are a favourite too. Large red bell peppers are stuffed with minced meat, rice, eggplant and whatever else. They are baked in the oven with potatoes and served

I remember watching mum make Maznik early in the mornings...best Macedonian pastry

Maznik Pastry

Maznik is probably the best known Macedonian pastry dish, consisting of a very long roll of pastry rolled up with a filling, typically feta cheese (sireńe) and coiled up into a circle, to be cut into pizza-like slices.

While it is eaten during the year, it forms a tradition on Macedonian New Year, which is 14th January. Everybody in the household sits for maznik on new years day, and a piece is cut for every person in the house, sometimes a piece is allocated for the house itself. A gold coin is placed in the Maznik, and the dish is spun several times (usually three). Each household member takes a slice of the maznik and whoever's slice holds the gold coin will have good luck for the year.
