This Is How the Mediterranean Grills: Croatia

In the beginning, there are the embers. It takes a lot of them to experience a highlight of Croatian barbecue cuisine. We are talking about »peka«, a kind of archetype of the Dutch oven that is so popular today and, as it were, the supreme discipline of Croatian barbecue. A cast-iron or ceramic bowl with a bell-shaped top forms the basis for this feast. It is filled with ribs, pork neck, and lamb shoulder - the bigger the piece of meat, the better.
