Montenegro: Sesame Ginger Chicken, Potatoes & Cheese Cornmeal (Kacamak), & Priganice (Doughnuts w/ Apple)

I'll be honest - this was probably my least favorite set of recipes that I cooked. I don't know if it is because I messed up or that my taste buds were just not having it.
First off, the chicken was suppose to be a sesame ginger chicken soup. However, I actually really liked the chicken recipe so I've changed the recipe so that it is not a soup. I was not too fond of the potato dish. I'm just personally not a huge fan of cornmeal. The Donuts was yummy, but they just weren't that pretty haha and they were a little difficult to make.
Sorry for the lack of pictures - I forgot to take more! Hopefully I didn't scare you off from cooking recipes from the country of Montenegro - I recommend the chicken and donuts! Have fun!

Sesame Ginger Chicken

Serves 4-5

2-3 Chicken Breasts, chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
1 Inch Piece of Ginger, minced
2 Tbsp Dry White Wine
6 Tbsp Sesame Oil
2 Tsp Sugar
1 Tsp Salt
- My FAV: Eden Foods Sea Salt -- 14 oz
Sesame Seeds

Heat the sesame oil in a large pan. Add the chicken and brown on all sides. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Cook until the chicken is cooked thoroughly (about 15-20 minutes). Stir throughout the cooking process.

May garnish with sesame seeds. Serve with potato cheese dish. Enjoy!

Kacamak with Potatoes, Cheese & Cornmeal

Serves 6-8

3 Cups Water

2 Potatoes, peeled, cubed and boiled

Salt to taste

- My FAV: Eden Foods Sea Salt -- 14 oz
1 1/4 Cup Cornmeal

1/2 Cup Feta Cheese

1/4 Cup Oil

Bring the water to a boil in a pot. Add the cooked potatoes and salt. Bring to a boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and gently mash the potatoes in the pot. Slowly add the cornmeal and continuously stir. Add the cheese and oil. Stir Well. 

Priganice (Doughnuts w/ Apple)

Dough: 

2 Tbsp Sugar

1 Cup Flour
2 Tbsp Warm Water
1/2 Cup Warm Water
1 Package of Yeast

Oil for frying
1 Green Apple, diced into small pieces
Sugar to coat

Mix the sugar with the 2 tbsp of warm water. Sprinkle in the package of yeast (don't stir). Set aside for 2 minutes and then gently stir. Set aside for 5 minutes. Foam or small bubbles must form on the surface - if this does not happen start over. (It can get messed up if the water is too warm or too cold and/or if the yeast is not fresh).

Stir 1 cup of flour and 1/2 cup of warm water into the yeast mixture. Mix well and then set aside - it should double its size.

After dough has risen, heat the oil in a pot with medium to high heat. Make sure you have enough in the pot so that the doughnut can be immersed in the oil.

Drop a piece of the apple in the dough. Take two spoons and scoop the dough that surrounds the apple piece. Then make the dough into a ball (with the apple piece in the middle).

Drop the ball into the oil. Make sure it browns on all sides. Take the doughnut out and place on a paper towel to soak up the remaining oil. Roll in sugar and serve warm. Enjoy!
