Croatian Meat Pies Recipe

Croatian meat pies, also known as "sambuci," are a traditional dish that have been enjoyed for generations in Croatia. They are made from a mixture of ground meat (typically beef or pork) and seasonings, which are encased in a flaky pastry crust. The result is a savory, handheld treat that is perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.

The filling for Croatian meat pies is made from a mixture of finely ground meat, onions, garlic, and spices. The most commonly used spices include paprika, black pepper, and parsley, though other seasonings may be added as well. This filling is then spooned into a round pastry crust, which is typically made from a combination of flour, butter, and water. The edges of the pastry are then crimped and brushed with beaten egg, which gives the pie a glossy, golden appearance when baked.

Croatian meat pies are typically baked in a hot oven until the crust is golden brown and the filling is cooked through. Once they are out of the oven, they can be enjoyed hot or at room temperature. Some people like to sprinkle the pies with a little grated cheese or a drizzle of sour cream before eating, but they are just as delicious on their own.

One of the great things about Croatian meat pies is their versatility. They can be served as a main dish, a snack, or even a light meal. They are also a great option for picnics, as they are easy to transport and can be eaten with one hand.

Overall, Croatian meat pies are a tasty and convenient food that have been enjoyed for many years in Croatia. Whether you are a fan of savory meat pies or are just looking for a quick and satisfying meal, these pies are sure to be a hit. So, why not give them a try and see for yourself why they are such a beloved dish in Croatia!
