Restaurants

Chock-a-block with all this food and influences from various parts of Dalmatia and Croatia, Split is rich in simple tasty dishes you have never heard of but once you taste them you will never forget. So, how do you go about tasting all this if you don’t have the good fortune of being invited to someone’s house where mama will surprise your taste buds? One option is to go exploring among the many konobas (traditional eateries which used to be wine cellars where you could slice some pršut and cheese or eat salted anchovies after a hard day’s work). You’ll find these kinds of restaurants scattered around the old city and the market.

Another option is to schedule your visit around the many gastronomic events happening all summer around Split, most of them based on a certain dish or ingredient. What sort of dishes should you look out for? It depends on the season. Local people tend to stick very much to what’s around at a given time of year rather than relying on greenhouse-grown produce or imports. So, in the spring, look out for dishes made with artichokes or for young broad beans prepared in a million different ways, for example with lamb, with squid ink… Mmm, it makes us hungry just thinking about it.

Also watch out for divlje zelje, greens picked in the wild. Summer is a great time for a piece of fresh fish simply grilled and served with chard cooked with potatoes; a black squid ink risotto with a refreshing green salad, or the classic family meal of deep fried sardines, red mullet or anchovies and a tomato and cucumber salad. In cooler seasons meat comes more to the fore, often cooked with vegetables in a stew-type dish. Look out for aramabašići a speciality originating in Sinj, a little way inland. These are little soured cabbage parcels containing beef (and sometimes pork), cooked in a broth with smoked dried meats. These, or their cousins sarma, are a must at every special occasion, as is a spit-roast lamb. If you keep out a sharp eye you might come across a pogača hailing from the island of Vis or Hvar, a flattish breadcake containing a mixture of salted anchovies and onion, plus tomato, capers and herbs depending on the version.

Or from inland, look out for soparnik, a flatbread stuffed with chard and spring onions, scattered with garlic and almonds and drizzled with olive oil. These are specialities you might find on sale at Pazar market. On a sweeter note, look out for compressed cakes of dried figs (smokvenjak), commonly made at home and truly delicious.

A speciality from the island of Hvar is forski medenjak, a biscuit made with olive oil and honey, though you’ll probably have to make a pilgrimage to the Nonica patisserie in Hvar town to find it. And if you are in Trogir, look out for rafiole. These are little half-moons made from almonds and maraschino liqueur. Legend has it they were invented by a girl named Rafiola who was imprisoned in the Kamerlengo fortress until her love, a Trogir noble, came to rescue her. She baked him these little cakes ‘til the end of her days as a mark of her gratitude. Working hours of restaurants, cafes and bars may change (for the better, we believe), in coordination with the state or local health officials.

oilY Fish

If you find yourself on a Friday at s fish market, you will surely notice the largest queue at the stands selling fresh sardines and anchovies. It is these types of oily fish that are sold the most, both because they are rather cheap, but more importantly, extremely healthy. In saying that, even if small oily fish such as sardines may catch the eye it is dentex, bream and bass that are highly sought after. So, it would seem that people survive on oily fish whilst dreaming of eating white fish, and for that matter, large tasty portions of it. To put it mildly, this is a somewhat unfair attitude towards a category of fish that has nurtured and raised generations along the entire coastline. It has high nutritional value, and historically it has fed many people in these parts because it is cheap and widely available.

Oily fish is not just to be thrown on the barbecue, but one can work hundreds of miracles with it. We suggest a simple dish, as prepared on the Adriatic islands, and it can stay in the fridge for a long time and be eaten as a cold appetizer.

Ingredients 500g sardines 250g purple onion 0.75l wine vinegar 150ml olive oil 3 bay leaves 1 sprig rosemary 1 teaspoon sugar parsley leaf sharp flour oil, salt, peppercorns

Preparation steps Clean the sardines (remove the head and flakes). Add salt, roll in flour and fry in oil. Place on kitchen paper to soak up excess fat. In another pan on olive oil, brown the onion chopped into crescents. Season with salt, pepper, bay leaf and rosemary. Add raisins: and if you don’t like them, you can do without and the boiled savur. Make savur from olive oil, yeast, water, a little parsley, lemon zest, a little sugar, sprigs of rosemary, bay leaf and peppercorns. Place the roasted sardines in a bowl and pour the chilled savur over them. You can keep sardines prepared in this way for up to a week or two in the refrigerator

Serving Serve cold and garnish with lemon slices.

Advice You can also prepare a larger blue fish in the same way, just cut it into smaller pieces.
