Peasant leek and spinach casserole
Casseroles
This was one of my favorite childhood dishes. My mom used to make it almost every week; it was wholesome, healthy and inexpensive. On Sundays, she served it with grilled chicken, on a weekday it was a dinner waiting for me at the end of a long day, and I would gobble it up with a slice of bread and a glass of kefir. (Not sure why, but for me kefir remains the ideal pairing for it.) I think that the dish was my mom’s creation; I scouted all her Serbian cookbooks but never managed to find anything like it. It has elements of several ancient peasant dishes and therefore the name. My mom never wrote the recipe, she never does, and it took me a couple of attempts to get the quantities right and recreate the childhood flavors. And of course, a jar of sweet Hungarian paprika!
