Žgvacet comes from the northwest part of Croatia, a peninsula called Istria, that is next to the Adriatic coast. It is a type of stew similar to goulash, and can be served with pasta, gnocchi or homemade "fuzi" (type of homemade pasta). It is very simple to make, and is very tasty. I found this recipe in a recipe book when visiting my family in Croatia. This is how the recipe goes: Ingredients: 1 package of boneless chicken breasts or chicken tenders, cut into bite-size pieces (cubed) 3 tablespoons of oil (I prefer grapeseed oil) 1 medium onion, chopped 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 cup of tomato sauce 1 tablespoon of flour 1/2 cup of red wine chopped fresh basil (or dry basil) to taste Vegeta to taste Salt and pepper to taste Directions: Heat up oil and saute onion until fragrant Add cubed chicken breast and garlic and saute for a few minutes Add flour and mix well Add wine, tomato sauce, basil, Vegeta, salt and pepper and mix well Cook until the meat is done (about 30-40 minutes) Serve with gnocchi, pasta or homemade "fuzi" Prijatno! Enjoy! :)
