  A kind reader passed along ths, which, he says is a hybrid
  of the pljeskavica he found in Serbia (where it is best), in
  Macedonia (where they claim to have invented it), and in
  Bulgaria (where he lives). In Serbia and Macedonia they like
  to serve it as a giant flat communal burger, he says, so it
  can be spread on a baking pan, baked until it turns slightly
  pink, and the put on the grill.
  
  Pljeskavica is traditionally served with a salad of chopped
  tomatoes and cucumbers with feta, salt and oil, fresh bread,
  and "of course," Balkan (or even Czech) plum brandy. It may
  also be served with djuvec rice.
  
  Mix the ingredients together in a large bowl. Make
  individual patties or one large one.
  
  Cook on a grill, a grill pan, a frying pan, or under the
  broiler.
