You can't usually stop at one piece so It's the best to take the whole ravanija and eat directly from the baking tray lol.

Bean soup is a traditional Macedonian dish. Some families prepare it once a week, so that's very frequent. I'm not that case. Or I wasn't. I hated bean soup since I was a kid. It was a nightmare when I would've asked my mom:"What's for lunch?" and she would've answered: "GRAV" (bean soup). Those were hard times which left scars on my childhood lol.

So, after so many years, did you know that bean soup is one of my favorite dishes now? I could eat it for several days in a row, no problem. I prepare it so simple and yet so delicious. I don't add any meat, I combine it with fresh salad and some chili peppers.

Another thing to mention is that Macedonian bean variety is high quality and our Tetovo bean is very famous. So I'm not sure that all of you could achieve the same taste even if you follow the exact procedure. But u can try right?
