Croatia’s sunniest island Hvar hides so many beauties. Apart from the island’s landscape, scented lavender fields and arancini from the island’s citruses, first class wines, trendy beaches and catering offers, there are those hidden historical values of the heritage, hidden behind the monastery walls.
Favorite dish of my childhood. When my mom would surprise me preparing that dish, it was a public festival for me. 🙂 Easy preparation and fullness of flavor place this dish in the “must have” category.
On this plate you find only the best of Dalmatia. Prossciuto, semi-hard cheese, salted pilchards, olives, small onions, home baked bread. Next to domestic red wine, get down to a real Dalmatian brunch.
This delicious cake as they make it in Split contains only the finest ingredients that the climate can offer. White shortcake with added nut fruits and dried fruits is interchanged with delicate egg and butter cream which is carefully prepared on steam. Decorated with melted chocolate and chocolate scrapes will go exceptionally well with a Dalmatian dessert vine – prošek.
Rustic cake made of corn flour, with uneven surface hides its delicious content. It is rich in true Dalmatian ingredients: almonds, raisins, dried figs and prošek (Dalmatian sweet dessert wine). A slice of this cake is an energy bar – the old fashion way.
Fresh cottage cheese and sour cream with added spring onions cut into tiny pieces is a real treat next to “kulen” or “kulenova seka” sausage. And if you add some ham, salad from vegetables in brine, and plum brandy “šljivovica”, you get a real feast from Slavonia.
Just as Italy is known for pizza, Croatian islands such as Vis, Komiža, Hvar, Cres, Pag are known for their unleavened round flat bread – pogača. They are mostly made from simple and available ingredients, such as onion, salted pilchards and parsley, and tomato sauce was added to the Komiža version.
For a very long time, the most popular and the cheapest savoury cake of the small place called Rude near Samobor. The story goes that during the Middle Ages, German miners took it with them into the underground copper mines. Together with bermet (red aromatic wine made from selected sorts of grapes, wormwood and southern fruit), this cake used to be on the menus of diners in Zagreb.
This cake made of sweet corn flour batter from Hrvatsko zagorje is not recognized only in the descriptive name of its ingredients, but also in the victuals that the people then had in their households. It is to be assumed it was not prepared very often, because adding a bit of home-made jam or marmalade to it is a real treat.
