About the dish

Žgvacet od teletine is a traditional dish originating from the region of Istria. The dish is usually made with a combination of veal, onions, garlic, tomatoes, white wine, basil, parsley, marjoram, flour, oil, salt, and pepper. The veal cubes are sautéed in oil, followed by the addition of onions, garlic, and parsley to the pan. The mixture is seasoned with marjoram, basil, salt, and pepper, and it's then simmered in water or stock. Once the meat is tender, the dish is sprinkled with flour, stirred, covered with white wine, and simmered until the sauce becomes thick. Žgvacet od teletine is traditionally served with polenta or local fuži pasta on the side.
