Cultured Palate: Dishes from Croatia
| May 24, 2017
2. Strukli
This pastry resembles a cross between Greek baklava and Italian lasagna. The thin pastry is rolled out and filled with anything from cheese to fruit, sometimes even truffles, then rolled back up and either baked plain or covered in clotted cream and butter, and left to cook in an oven until browned and crisp. This dish is popular all over Croatia, but is native to the region around Zagreb. There’s even a restaurant called La Struk that only serves strukli, and they’re known for their delicious and filling variations.
