Urnebes is a traditional Serbian dish, often served as a spicy side dish or spread. It’s made from a combination of white cheese (similar to feta), chili peppers, and garlic, resulting in a flavorful and fiery spread. The name “Urnebes” literally means “chaos” or “mess,” which reflects the dish’s intense and bold flavors. It’s commonly served with grilled meats, especially in Serbian barbecue (roštilj) settings, or simply spread on bread.

Ingredients:

• 250g white cheese (such as feta or Serbian kajmak)
