Piletina ispod peke
Piletina ispod peke (Chicken under the bell) is a quintessential Croatian dish where chicken and vegetables are slow-cooked to perfection under a dome-shaped lid (peka) in a wood-fired oven or embers. This method results in incredibly tender meat and flavorful, roasted vegetables infused with smoky aromas.

- 1
Preheat your oven to 160ยฐC (320ยฐF). If using a traditional peka setup, prepare a fire and let it burn down to embers.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: The key to peka is slow, even cooking with radiant heat from above and below. - 2
In a large bowl, toss the chicken pieces with olive oil, salt, pepper, and Vegeta (if using).
- 3
In a large, heavy-bottomed baking dish or a cast-iron pot suitable for the peka lid, arrange the potatoes, carrots, onions, bell peppers, and whole garlic cloves.
- 4
Place the seasoned chicken pieces on top of the vegetables. Tuck the rosemary sprigs among the chicken and vegetables.
- 5
Pour the white wine over the chicken and vegetables. Drizzle with a little more olive oil.
- 6
Cover the dish tightly with the peka lid (or a tight-fitting lid for a pot/Dutch oven). If using a traditional peka, carefully place the hot embers and coals on top of the lid.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Ensure the lid is sealed well to trap all the steam and juices. - 7
Cook for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender, and the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized. Check periodically and add more embers if needed.
- 8
Carefully remove the peka lid (or pot lid). Let the dish rest for 10 minutes before serving. Serve hot, directly from the baking dish.

- โThe success of Peka relies on the quality of the fire and the even distribution of heat.
- โDon't overcrowd the peka dish; allow space for heat circulation.
- โIf you don't have a traditional peka setup, a Dutch oven in a conventional oven can achieve similar results.
- โThe vegetables absorb the juices from the chicken, making them incredibly flavorful.

- Other meats like lamb, veal, or pork can be used instead of chicken.

- Add other vegetables like zucchini or leeks.
- A splash of brandy or rakija can be added for extra flavor.
