Marmili

Marmili is a term that can refer to several different things, primarily a type of fruit and a traditional Bulgarian dish. The fruit, often called "marmel" or "marmule" in some regions, is a small, dark, sweet berry that grows on a shrub native to parts of Europe and Asia. It is known for its high vitamin content and is sometimes used in jams, preserves, and traditional remedies. The taste is often described as a blend of plum and grape.

In Bulgarian cuisine, Marmili is a savory dish, typically a stew or casserole. It is made with lamb or mutton, potatoes, onions, and a variety of herbs and spices, often including savory and mint. The meat is usually slow-cooked until tender, allowing the flavors to meld together. This hearty dish is a staple in many Bulgarian households, particularly during colder months, and is often served with bread and a side of yogurt or salad. The specific ingredients and preparation methods can vary from region to region within Bulgaria.
