Ede Sarabska, a cook from Serbia, says: "The dish is cooked with three types of meat: lamb, pork and beef, three ingredients are mixed, seasoned with spices, so the mass does not crumble. As you can see, the meat becomes very tasty. This is laid out in homemade cakes lubricated with cottage cheese."
