Build Your Own Pljeskavica
Steps:
1. Start by choosing the type of meat for a patty — beef, pork, or a mix of both for a richer flavor.
2. Then pick the bread, usually a warm somun or lepinja, soft inside and slightly crispy on the outside.
3. Add fresh vegetables like onions, tomatoes, lettuce, or cabbage to bring balance and crunch.
4. Next, choose your sauce — classic ajvar, creamy kajmak, or spicy chili for an extra kick.
5. Finally, finish it off with tasty additions such as cheese, bacon, or pickles to make your pljeskavica truly your own.
Done!
