Žgvacet comes from the northwest part of Croatia, a peninsula called Istria, that is next to the Adriatic coast. It is a type of stew similar to goulash, and can be served with pasta, gnocchi or homemade "fuzi" (type of homemade pasta). It is very simple to make, and is very tasty. I found this recipe in a recipe book when visiting my family in Croatia. This is how the recipe goes:
Ingredients:
- 1 package of boneless chicken breasts or chicken tenders, cut into bite-size pieces (cubed)
- 3 tablespoons of oil (I prefer grapeseed oil)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup of tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon of flour
- 1/2 cup of red wine
- chopped fresh basil (or dry basil) to taste
- Vegeta to taste
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
- Heat up oil and saute onion until fragrant
- Add cubed chicken breast and garlic and saute for a few minutes
- Add flour and mix well
- Add wine, tomato sauce, basil, Vegeta, salt and pepper and mix well
- Cook until the meat is done (about 30-40 minutes)
- Serve with gnocchi, pasta or homemade "fuzi"
Prijatno! Enjoy! :)
