Lički lonac

Translated as Lika pot, this flavorful stew combines chunks of meat such as mutton, lamb, or beef with various vegetables that include large pieces of cabbage, potatoes, onions, carrots, or parsley root. The choice of meat and vegetables relies on traditional ingredients of the area, and the whole stew represents a hearty, frugal meal that is meant to feed the whole family. It is believed that the dish is an adaptation of Bosnian pot, a similar stew hailing from the neighboring Bosnia and Herzegovina. Lika pot is still prepared in many households throughout the area and is occasionally found on the menus of traditional restaurants. It is best served accompanied by rustic, country-style bread on the side.
