About Cobanac
Vedran’s čobanac is a Slavonian meat stew made here with pork and beef. His stovetop rendition carries the paprika-rich character of the cauldron dish associated with eastern Croatia.
Onions, carrots and parsley root form a soft base, while sweet and hot paprika season the meat. Optional preserved mushrooms and pickled hot peppers add further texture and sharpness.
The long simmer produces a substantial stew with tender meat and a deeply coloured broth. It is served hot with crusty bread; a cold beer is an offered accompaniment.
