Čobanac

Čobanac is a traditional meat stew originating from Slavonia and Baranja, located in the eastern part of Croatia. The dish is traditionally prepared by slowly cooking all of the ingredients for several hours in a large copper pot that is strung over an open fire. Typically, it consists of a few different types of meat, from veal and pork to wild game meat, along with large quantities of onions, and a special blend of sweet and hot ground paprika which gives the stew its characteristical rich and vivid color. It is recommended to serve čobanac with a few slices of fresh, homemade bread.
