Karađorđeva šnicla
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Karadjordje's steak (Serbian: Карађорђева шницла, tr. Karađorđeva šnicla) is a Serbian dish named after the Serbian Prince Karadjordje. It is a rolled veal or pork steak, stuffed with bacon, white cheese and ham, breaded and baked (or fried). It is served with roasted patatoes and tartar sauce.
The steak is sometimes called "girls' dream" (девојачки сан, devojački san)[1], and so is jokingly concluded that it must have been modelled after certain part of Karadjordje's anatomy[1][2]. However, the steak is a modern invention, created by chef Mića Stojanović in 1959[2] who, when needed to prepare Kiev kotlet for a distinguished visitor from Russia faced with lack of poultry, so he used veal instead[2]; not fully satisfied with the result, he poured tartar sauce over it, and decorated it with a slice of lemon and pieces of tomato, which at the end resembled Karadjordje's star decoration, and thus was the steak named[2].
