About the dish

Framentunjača is a traditional dessert originating from the Kvarner area. The cake is made with a combination of polenta flour, water, salt, raisins, dried figs, walnuts, and almonds. The raisins, figs, walnuts, and almonds are coarsely chopped and mixed into cooked polenta near the end of cooking. The mixture is poured into a baking dish and baked in the oven on low heat. Once baked, the cake is chilled, cut into slices, and then served with homemade rakija (local brandy).
