Bundevara (Bulgarian and Macedonian: Тиквеник) is a type of pastry in Bulgarian cuisine and parts of former Yugoslavia.[1] It is a sweet pie made of rolled phyllo, similar to strudel, filled with sweetened grated pumpkin pulp and baked in an oven. Occasionally nutmeg, cinnamon or similar spices may be added, or raisins or grated lemon rinds. It is usually dusted with icing sugar and/or vanilla sugar, and is served hot or cold. The pumpkins (or squashes) with more intense coloured pulp (richer in carotene) are more appreciated. So, although little grown in Serbia, some varieties of Cucurbita moschata are suited for this dish.
Origins
Bundevara originated from the Serbian providence of Vojvodina. Its name litterally means "pumpkin". Bundevara is a typical Serbian dessert which uses phyllo dough, a common ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine.[2]
