Background
Each ex-Yugoslav country - Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Kosovo - has a few favorite holiday specials, while many dishes are enjoyed across the region.
This list is a winter edition round-up of these recipes. It includes food cooked for Christmas (Catholic and Orthodox), but particularly food for New Year's Eve, (a huge deal in the region!).
We’ve kept the region’s shared culinary heritage in mind while creating this list. Additionally, we've included your favorites like sarma, veal shank, burek, Shopska salad, and more.
There’s something here for everyone! From savory, melt-in-your-mouth pies to showstopping meat centerpieces, and succulent sides. (Oh and take a look at that dessert section!!)
Whether you're hosting a holiday party, or just want to add a touch of Balkan flair to your dining table, this is the list to explore!
