Žgvacet
Žgvacet with fuži is a traditional Istrian dish that combines a rich meat stew, usually made with veal or chicken, with homemade Istrian pasta known as fuži. This dish originates from Istria, where it has long been prepared as part of everyday cuisine, as well as for special occasions.
Žgvacet is slowly cooked in a sauce of tomatoes, onions, and spices, creating a flavourful dish that is perfectly complemented by fuži.
