In ancient and somewhat poorer times, Slavonian shepards spent days taking their cattle to graze. Since this work took a lot of time, hunger should be satisfied with a warm and tasty meal.
There is a story about how the čobanac was created in such conditions - the shepherds would put vegetables and several types of meat into a large pot so they could enjoy a refreshing soupy meal. Today, almost no restaurant in Slavonia does not offer this delicate and tasty dish, and no family celebration can go without serving it. Čobanac is a dish that is a symbol of Slavonia!
Tips for Making the Best Čobanac
Čobanac is a spicy meat dish that is eaten with a spoon. It's a delicious mix of meat, vegetables, and red peppers. It would be best if you used several types of meat so that čobanac is rich and varied. Onions, potatoes, carrots, celery, and parsley are the most often used vegetables, and you can add mushrooms or other vegetables if you wish. Do not forget that čobanac is prepared for several hours, and do not rush to cook it - the more it is cooked, the richer the taste. It is best served with warm homemade bread, and a rhapsody of flavors is guaranteed.
