7. Pašticada
This dish is immensely popular in Croatia, but it’s difficult to find in a restaurant due to its long cooking time. Pašticada is a stewed meat dish that can be prepared with a variety of different cuts of meat, but it’s the cooking process that defines the dish. First, the meat is marinated in vinegar overnight, then allowed to cook with a variety of veggies for at least five hours. Then the veggies are pureed into a sauce, and the meat is served in the sauce, over homemade pasta. In Dalmatia, where it originated, this dish is frequently served on feast days and special occasions.
