zaklciami

Zaklciami is a traditional Croatian dish, originating from the coastal regions of Dalmatia. The name "zaklciami" translates to "with a lid" in English, referring to the method of cooking the dish. The primary ingredients include a variety of seafood, such as shrimp, mussels, and clams, which are cooked in a flavorful broth with vegetables and herbs. The dish is typically served with crusty bread to soak up the delicious broth.

The preparation of zaklciami involves cleaning and preparing the seafood, followed by sautéing vegetables like onions, garlic, and bell peppers. The seafood is then added to the pan, along with a mixture of herbs and spices, and cooked until they open. A lid is placed on the pan to create a steamy environment, allowing the seafood to cook gently and absorb the flavors of the broth.

Zaklciami is often served as a main course, accompanied by a side of rice or pasta. The dish is known for its rich, savory flavor and the tender, succulent seafood. It is a popular choice for seafood lovers and is often enjoyed during special occasions and family gatherings. The simplicity of the recipe and the use of fresh, high-quality ingredients make zaklciami a beloved dish in Croatian cuisine.
