Plovas

Plovas is a traditional dish from the Balkans, particularly popular in Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Montenegro. It is a hearty and flavorful stew made with rice, meat, and vegetables. The dish is typically prepared by cooking rice separately and then combining it with a stew made from various meats, such as beef, pork, or lamb, along with vegetables like onions, carrots, and bell peppers. The stew is often flavored with spices like paprika, garlic, and bay leaves. Plovas is typically served with yogurt or sour cream on top, which helps to cool down the dish and adds a creamy texture. It is often accompanied by a side of bread or a salad. Plovas is a comforting and satisfying dish that is enjoyed by many in the region.
