Vegetable soup from potatoes and beans

Scrambled eggs

It is made from eggs and almost anything can be added, asparagus, spring onions, mushrooms, prosciutto, bacon, sausages…

Goulash with gnocchi

It is made of beef, game or mixed meats. It was made only for some feasts or when there was meat in the house. Then the house windows would be opened so that everyone in the village would know that there was meat in the house. Gnocchi go best with this goulash but also fuži (a kind of bow shaped pasta) could be made with it.

Smoked sausages

Best when eaten with Brgud cabbage having origin only in this region. Try it and you won’t regret it.
