Žganci
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Žganci is a dish in Slovenian and Croatian cuisine. It is a traditional dish, especially as part of farmers' cookery.
Žganci is a popular dessert in Croatia and eastern Slavonia. On the coast, Žganci are also known as Pura.
It is made from polenta or buckwheat flour, water, cooking oil and salt, which is cooked for fifteen minutes on a low boil. The lump is then crumbled onto a plate for serving. Softer Žganci are called Stajerska, or Styrian style.
Žganci can be served with milk (Žganci sa Mlijekom), honey, lard crackling or runny yoghurt. Serving with cabbage or black pudding makes a traditional Slovenian breakfast dish. In Turopolje, south of Croatia's capital city Zagreb, a savoury version is served with meat as part of a main dish.
