While growing up, Merjem Mededovic cooked with her grandmother and learned names of various things in Bosnian. One recipe she learned is kljukusa, a potato and onion dish similar to a latke.
from you, our readers and listeners, and the special stories behind them. We'll continue to share more of your kitchen gems throughout the holidays.As a young child, Merjem Mededovic spent her first years in Germany before she and her family settled in the United States, having fled war-torn Sarajevo. When they returned to Bosnia-Herzegovina in 2003, Mededovic wasn't fluent in the language. Her grandmother helped bridge that gap.
Mededovic often would join her grandmother in the kitchen as she made dinner and learned the names of different things in Bosnian."She was very, very, very patient with teaching me how to make all the foods and how each ingredient is called. We would go to the marketplaces together and she would even show me how to haggle," Mededovic said."So it was a very natural way for me to kind of absorb all of the culture and all of the language.
Her grandmother was having difficulty describing the dish until she referred to it as the"cousin" to pita, a type of cheese pie that the family eats. It is similar to spanakopita. The unique name has led to lots of laughs, too, Mededovic said, especially when she talks about the dish and has to remember that it's actually called kljukusa by everyone else, not cousin.The potato pancake is often topped with a garlic yogurt sauce, and Mededovic said her family likes to eat it with quartered raw onions and slices of tomatoes, with salt on the side.
