EATING IN CROATIA

Croatians love their food! A Sunday lunch is considered a special meal when often the whole family come together and enjoys traditional Croatian dishes such as Peka which is a meal cooked over open fire while the dish is covered with a lid.

Many Croatian dishes contain fresh vegetables and seafood. Croatians cook with fish or shell fish such as scampi, mussels, shrimps which are the main catch in coastal regions. Oily fish such as sardines, mackerels, anchovies are very popular too.

Here are my top choices of food to try when in Croatia

Fritule

This is a delicious deep fried pastry in small ball shapes. These balls are usually flavoured with citrus and raisins - and sometimes contain rum, they are particularly popular during Christmas time

Stuffed peppers (Pungent Paprika)

The peppers are traditionally stuffed with minced pork meat, tomatoes and rice with tomato sauce.

Brudet

This is a fish stew that includes fish, onions, tomatoes and chilli pepper.
