About Buzara

Zadar Region presents mussels na buzaru as a classic Dalmatian seafood dish. The mussels cook with olive oil, garlic, parsley and white wine, producing a sauce around the shells.

Finely chopped garlic is gently fried before parsley and mussels enter the pan. Wine joins the mixture as the shells begin to open, and the covered pan is shaken so the components combine.

The mussels rest briefly after the sauce reaches a simmer. Their shells remain part of the presentation, with the aromatic wine-and-olive-oil sauce surrounding the shellfish.
