Klijavimo

Klijavimo is a traditional Croatian dish, originating from the Dalmatian region. It is a hearty stew made with a variety of ingredients, typically including pork, beef, or a combination of both, along with vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and onions. The dish is often flavored with paprika, garlic, and other spices, and is typically served with crusty bread or polenta.

The name "klijavimo" comes from the Croatian word "klijati," which means to stew or boil. The dish is typically prepared by first browning the meat in a large pot, then adding the vegetables and spices. The mixture is then covered with water or broth and simmered until the meat is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Klijavimo is a popular dish in Croatia and is often served at family gatherings and special occasions. It is also a staple of Dalmatian cuisine, which is known for its hearty, flavorful dishes. The dish is typically served with a side of crusty bread or polenta, and is often accompanied by a salad or other side dish.

In recent years, klijavimo has gained popularity outside of Croatia as well, with many restaurants and home cooks around the world taking inspiration from this traditional dish. While the exact recipe may vary depending on the region and family, the basic principles of stewing meat and vegetables with spices remain consistent.
