FOOD |
| On gulet Sedna, we will
provide you the best tastes of Dalmatian cuisine. Dalmatian cuisine, due to its ingredients
and preparation, meets all medical and nutritional
recommendations for a healthy and well-balanced diet.
Traditional Dalmatian ingredients are various types of fish,
shells, crabs, octopus, squid, cuttle-fish, olives, olive
oil, vegetables, wild and aromatic herbs, almonds, figs,
grapes, honey, raisins and citrus fruits. Particularly
delicious are Dalmatian "prsut" - smoked ham that is dried
in the "bura" (north-eastern wind), best served with
sheep-cheese, and "janjetina ispod peke" - lamb prepared in
the traditional way under a metal cover. Furthermore,
Dalmatian wines, both red and white, are a must with every
meal and some of them are among the world's top ten. The
cuisine in Dalmatia and on its islands is in accordance to
modern trends in nutrition. Healthy methods of preparation
(boiled or grilled), as well as plenty of fish, olive oil,
vegetables and wild herbs that can be found along the coast
make Dalmatian cuisine extremely healthy. Although, even
today, every region has its own unique methods of
preparation, Dalmatian cuisine represents a whole whose
characteristics have been discovered only recently, for
example the cuisines of the islands of Hvar, Korcula, Brac,
Vis (grilled pilchards, as in the times of the ancient
Greeks; pie with pilchards from Komiza and Vis, a dish
similar to the modern pizza). |
