About Bosanski Lonac
Bosanski lonac is a Bosnian meat-and-vegetable stew. Aida’s Balkan Lunch Box recipe follows the old-fashioned layered preparation; this profile selects beef and lamb from her recommended combinations.
Cabbage, potatoes, beans and other vegetables fill out the mixture. Garlic, parsley, black pepper and paprika provide its simple seasoning, while the meats and vegetables contribute their juices to the broth.
The stew has large pieces of meat and vegetables in a generous broth. Aida presents it warm, with bread and fermented cabbage among the suggested accompaniments.
