Croatian cuisine is sometimes known as "the cuisine of regions", since each part of
Croatia has its own distinct
culinary traditions, and influences from its neighbors. The cookery of coastal regions shows
influences from Roman, Illyrian and Greek cuisine,
Italian cuisine, and even French cuisine,
whereas inland areas get their influences from
Viennese and Austrian cuisine, Hungarian cuisine
and Turkish cuisine.
Some popular Croatian dishes include:
- Juha od Mahuna - A vegetable soup made from green beans, as well as carrots, lentils, onions and peas.
- Brudet - Fish stew, served with polenta (boiled cornmeal)
- Gulaš - A spicy beef stew, similar to Hungarian cuisine's gulyás (goulash).
- Slavonski Cobanac - Lamb stew originally from Slavonia.
- Istrian stew (Croatian: Istarska jota) -
A stew made with bacon, spare ribs, beans, potatoes and sauerkraut, seasoned with garlic.
- Pašticada - A stewed beef dish, originally from Dalmatia (and sometimes known as "Dalmatinska pašticada").
Served with gnocchi (dumplings) or wide noodles.
- Sataraš - Minced and roasted vegetables, especially bell peppers.
- Sarma - Sauerkraut rolls with ground (minced) pork and rice.
- Zagrebacki odrezak - Originally from
Croatia's capital,
Zagreb,
this dish consists of thin slices of chicken or veal stuffed with ham and cheese and then

- Kulen - Spicy pork sausage, originally from Slavonia.
- Cešnovka - Another variety of spicy pork sausage. Cešnovka has a garlic taste, and originates from
the Turopolje region.
- Strukli - A type of ravioli, originally from

they are usually eaten during the
Christmas period, with compotes
of dried fruits (apples, pears, prunes, etc.).
