Croatia
Adriatic seafood and Istrian truffles meet continental cabbage rolls, slow-braised beef and paprika-laced stews. That is the short version of what Croatia cooks. Look for Pašticada (dalmatian beef braised with prošek and prunes, served with gnocchi), Peka (octopus, lamb or veal slow-baked under an ember-covered bell) and Black risotto (cuttlefish risotto dyed with its ink, coastal favorite). Dalmatian beef marinated and braised for a day in prošek and vinegar with prunes, served at weddings around Split and its hinterland. This atlas has 39 Croatia dishes catalogued below, from everyday cooking to food kept for festivals and special occasions.
