Ultimate Croatia Trip
Croatian Dishes to try
Ćevapčići
or Cevapi for short, are little sausages of minced meat - ideally a beef/lamb mix - wrapped in a flatbread, and are a staple in the Balkans. They are a very popular street food or you can find them also in standard restaurants.
Burek
These layered pastries filled with cheese, meat, or some stuffing variation can be found everywhere! They are perfect for an afternoon snack, or a morning bite. I recommend trying a cheese-and-spinach burek!
Pašticada
This Dalmatian dish has roots to southern France. Pašticada is a stew of marinated beef, prunes, figs and alcohol of some sort, wine or prosecco. A proper pašticada requires some 24 hours of preparation, including giving the meat an overnight soak in vinegar, garlic and usually bacon. Served with gnocchi, it’s a dish served on certain saints’ days or at weddings.
