A traditional Croatian dish I got to know in Zagreb, Croatia and immediatly fell in love with is Štruklji – cooked dough with various fillings. I found it throughout all of former Yugoslavia. It was once reserved for special occasions but is nowadays an everyday meal.
The first recorded recipe dates back to 1589. The filling can be sweet or savoury – typical are apple, walnut or cottage cheese. And different kinds of gravy can be found, too. Simply delicious!
