Carb Overload

I typically avoid the frozen food section when grocery shopping.  There is a much better variety of fresh food, so no need to waste my time there.  That is until I stumbled upon Krumpirusa, aka potato burek.  Burek is a fried filled pastry made from phyllo dough.  I am used to the cheese and apple variety, and I will most definitely be back with a post entirely dedicated to the two, but today we are talking about frozen potato burek.  When I first saw the box I laughed.  That’s like eating French fries with bread.  Why?  But of course, I bought it (3 bucks for 6 buns!)

I immediately wanted to try one when I got home, so I popped two in the oven and waited patiently for the dough to crisp up.  Twenty minutes later I had an apartment smelling like fried bread and hash browns, and a stomach growling for what was baking in the oven.  Out came these cute looking swirled buns, and just one bite made me a believer in the Croatian frozen food market.  This is not to say that I will eat frozen prepared food on a daily or weekly basis, but definitely more willing to try what they have to offer, and of course report back to you folks.  Until next time, I’m going back for my second warm potato burek.  See ya!
