About the dish

Teletina ispod peke is a traditional dish that’s made with meat cooked under the lid (called peka in Croatian). It’s usually made with veal, potatoes, onions, carrots, bell peppers, oil, bay leaves, rosemary, and seasonings. The vegetables are cut into chunks that are placed over the veal. The combination is then covered with a big and round metal lid and cooked for about 2 hours until the meat and the vegetables are tender and fully cooked. The dish is traditionally served with kruh ispod peke (bread baked under the lid) and fresh seasonal salads on the side.
