Doing an initial web search, I see a number of recipes, but I'd be more trusting of the directions and advice of someone here who learned this skill from their family. I don't think my friend Olivja used vinegar, and I *thought* hers involved butter; but maybe I'm mistaken and it was indeed oil that she used in her preparation. So, anyone here from the Balkans? Want to weigh in? We would all benefit greatly. . .
