Čubrica

Čubrica is an aromatic spice blend typical of Balkan cuisine, particularly in Bulgaria and Serbia. It is based on dried savory, complemented by paprika, salt and other spices. The flavour is herby and moderately spicy with a pronounced aroma. It is primarily used to season grilled meats, kebabs, legumes and vegetables. In Bulgaria, it is traditionally served as a table condiment alongside bread and vegetable dishes. Čubrica adds depth and a distinctly Balkan character to food, and can also be used as a substitute for individual spices in marinades and sauces.
