About Hobotnica ispod sača
Octopus under the peka is a Dalmatian bell-roasted dish with potatoes and a savoury wine-and-garlic sauce. The Zadar rendition has tender octopus at the centre, surrounded by pieces of potato with lightly crisp edges.
Olive oil carries the flavours of garlic, parsley and white wine. Pepper adds warmth, while an optional onion brings a sweeter vegetable note to the roasting juices.
The octopus and potatoes share a broad serving dish and the same glossy sauce. The combination pairs soft seafood with substantial potato pieces, giving the meal its distinctive coastal character.
