Peka
Dalmatian lamb and vegetables slow-cooked under a bell-shaped iron lid with embers.
About Peka
Peka names both Croatia's bell-shaped cooking lid and the dish slowly baked beneath it. This profile fixes a Dalmatian lamb version with potatoes and summer vegetables, cooked under embers and finished with dry white wine.
Lamb juices mingle with olive oil, rosemary, garlic and wine to create a deep savoury base. Potatoes absorb the cooking liquor, while tomato, eggplant, green pepper, onion and zucchini contribute sweetness and softness.
The finished platter holds deeply browned, pull-apart lamb among tender potatoes and collapsed vegetables. Slow ember heat leaves glossy roasting juices and caramelised edges while keeping the centre moist.
