Pekonávané
Pekonávané is a Slovak term that translates to "pecked" or "nibbled" in English. It is most commonly used in a culinary context to describe a method of preparing certain foods, particularly small fruits or vegetables. This technique involves gently breaking the surface of the food item with a sharp utensil, such as a knife or fork, without fully cutting through it. The intention is to create small openings or fissures that allow marinades, spices, or cooking juices to penetrate more effectively, thereby enhancing flavor and tenderness.
This method is often applied to ingredients like small potatoes, cherry tomatoes, or certain types of berries
Beyond its culinary application, the term "pekonávané" can occasionally be used metaphorically to describe a situation
