POJORSKI BRONZINIĆ

POJORSKI BRONZINIĆ = SQUID STEW WITH LENTILS AND BARLEY

 

Squids and legumes go together beautifully and with help of garlic and onion we’ll have a delicious meal.

Pojorski bronzinić originates from island Vis, I suppose it is influenced by Portuguese kitchen.

There are innumerable recipes for it, but I like this recipe with squid (somebody combine it with octopus as well).

Lentils and barley can be prepared in advanced and than place in refrigerator, and next day you can prepare squid stew  and finish the dish.

Pojorski bronzinic has a wonderfully intensive and rich flavor that stands up all with fresh iceberg lettuce, corn bread and glass of red wine.
