Leisurely Weekend

[a_boleyn]

Instead of hitting the market on Saturday morning, as I usually do, I slept in which meant that Sunday I was out the door at the leisurely hour of 11am (the farmer's market opens at 10am on Sundays) to pick up my lunch. This is what I ended up with.

Market Day Brunch - clockwise from the top: fresh buns, smoked turkey, pastrami, French double

Everything was very tasty and easy to prepare as well. The kind of cooking I like. :)

I love building your meals around farmer markets produce
those little mici look like kofta which is minced meat with minced onions and parsley.
Loved reading your recipe in your reply to Charles but may I ask what is the baking soda for?

[a_boleyn]

I have no definitive idea what the baking soda does. I thought it gave the meat a certain lightness/tenderness by helping break the proteins down but I've also read that it helps the meat to crisp up.

Summer savoury is added to the Romanian version (not the Serbian cevapcici)
