One of the most distinguished Croatian dishes is brudet. It’s interesting to know that brudet was a dish of poor people in the past. They used all the ingredients they had to cook it. Nowadays you can taste brudet in every local Croatian restaurant. There is no particular recipe for this dish, but it is usually made of fish, seafood, and vegetables. Layer all the ingredients in a big dish, add some wine and stew it until almost all the liquid is evaporated. The dish is served with polenta, an Italian dish made of corn flour.

One more dish without an exact recipe is Ispod peke. This phrase is translated as «under the bell». Ispod peke is usually made of potatoes, lamb or octopus. There is nothing difficult in the process of its preparation. You just need to put it in a stone oven, cover it with a lid and coal. You should remove the lid only when the dish is ready. Black rižot is quite a unique dish for Adriatic cuisine. It consists of rice with cuttlefish and squid. The dish has an unusual colour, it is black because of squid ink.
