🇭🇷Croatian Recipes

Explore Croatian cuisine — peka, pašticada, ćevapi, štrukli, and the Adriatic-Mediterranean-Central-European table.

4 recipes

Croatian cuisine splits between the Adriatic coast (Mediterranean seafood, olive oil, peka slow-roasting under a bell, black risotto) and the continental interior (Central European stews, štrukli cheese pastries, kulen sausage). Pašticada (marinated beef pot roast) is a Dalmatian classic. Distinct from neighbouring Balkan cuisines through peka technique and Istrian/Dalmatian seafood traditions.

Brodet (Brodet) — Croatian Adriatic Fish Stew with Tomato and White Wine

Brodet is a Dalmatian and Istrian Adriatic fish stew, traditionally made with mixed local fish simmered gently in tomato, wine, vinegar, and olive oil. The pot is shaken rather than stirred so the fish stays whole.
