Peka-Style Lamb: A Traditional Croatian Delicacy
If you’ve dined at Story, you know that our Peka-style lamb is more than a meal—it’s an experience. Traditionally cooked under a bell-like dome, we’ve adapted this iconic dish for the home oven.
Ingredients:
- 1.5kg lamb shoulder, cut into chunks
- 800g potatoes, peeled and thickly sliced
- 3 carrots, cut into chunks
- 1 red onion, quartered
- 1 green pepper, sliced
- 4 garlic cloves, whole
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh rosemary and thyme
- 200ml dry white wine
- Salt and pepper
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
- Toss all vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and arrange in a baking dish.
- Season the lamb with salt and pepper, place on top of the vegetables, and add herbs.
- Cover tightly with foil and bake for 90 minutes.
- Remove the foil, pour in the wine, and roast uncovered for an additional 30 minutes, or until the lamb is tender and the edges are golden.
- Serve with warm, crusty bread to soak up the delicious juices.
