Peka BBQ

Cultural Context

Originating from the Croatian coastal regions, Peka BBQ is a traditional dish cooked under a bell-like lid, known as 'peka'. This method allows the meat and vegetables to slow-cook, resulting in tender and flavorful dishes that are often enjoyed during family gatherings and celebrations. Today, Peka is cherished not only in Croatia but also in neighboring countries, showcasing the rich culinary heritage of the Mediterranean.
