Dalmatinska Peka
Peka is a traditional Croatian one-pot dish, often considered a national treasure, prepared by slow-roasting meat (commonly lamb, veal, or octopus) or seafood with vegetables and potatoes under a bell-shaped lid, buried in embers. This method results in incredibly tender, moist, and aromatic food.

- 2 medium Courgettes(cut into thick slices)

👨🍳 步驟
- 1
Prepare the meat: Cut the lamb or veal into large, even chunks. Place in a large bowl and rub generously with salt, pepper, and rosemary. Add crushed garlic and drizzle with half of the olive oil. Mix well and set aside to marinate.
💡 專業提示: Marinating the meat for at least an hour enhances the flavor. - 2
Prepare the vegetables: Slice the potatoes, courgettes, carrots, onions, and bell pepper. Place them in a separate bowl, season lightly with salt, and drizzle with the remaining olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
💡 專業提示: Cutting vegetables into large chunks helps them withstand the long cooking time. - 3
Arrange the dish: Place the seasoned vegetables at the base of a Dutch oven or heavy-lidded roasting dish. Layer the marinated meat on top, distributing evenly. Add the rosemary sprigs.
💡 專業提示: Ensure the meat is not fully submerged in vegetables to allow for better roasting. - 4
Add liquid: Pour the dry white wine over the meat and vegetables. Cover tightly with the lid to trap steam and flavor.
💡 專業提示: The wine adds moisture and a subtle acidity that balances the richness of the meat. - 5
Cook the peka: If using an oven, preheat to 180°C (350°F). Place the covered dish inside. If cooking outdoors with embers, ensure the traditional peka dome is fully surrounded with hot coals for even cooking.
💡 專業提示: Avoid opening the lid frequently, as heat retention is key to authentic results. - 6
Check and finish: Cook for 1.5 to 2 hours, checking only once halfway to ensure there is sufficient liquid. If the dish looks dry, add a splash of stock or water. Avoid frequent opening. Once cooked, let the peka rest for 10 minutes before serving.
💡 專業提示: The meat should be meltingly tender, and the vegetables soft and savory.
