Gambaloci

In Međimurje, gambaloci is a name for both the ingredient and the dish where those ingredients are used. It is hard dough shaped into small balls, made with a combination of corn flour, pork fat, and salt. Gambaloci are boiled in salted water for about 15 minutes and are then rinsed off with cold water. Before serving, cooked gambaloci are drizzled over with melted pork fat. A dish with the same name can also be found in the region of Podravina, but in that version, gambaloci are topped with chopped onions which have been fried on pumpkin seed oil, and their version of the dish is traditionally served for breakfast.
