Korona ve Yeni Yıl Maneštra

Maneštra od koromača i svinjskog jezika is a traditional dish originating from Istria. This type of Istrian maneštra (soup-like stew) is made with a combination of beans, potatoes, fennel, pork tongue, bacon, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. The beans are cooked, covered with water, and mixed with pork tongue, salt, pepper, bacon, and garlic. The mixture is simmered until the tongue and beans are slightly tender. The potatoes are peeled, cut into cubes, then added to the pot with the fennel. Once the beans and potatoes become fully cooked and the maneštra develops a thick consistency, the tongue is taken out of the pot, cleaned, and cut into slices. The slices are then arranged on a plate that's filled with maneštra, and the dish is enjoyed while still hot.
