Karađorđeva šnicla

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Karađorđeva šnicla (also known as Karađorđe's schnitzel) is a popular dish in Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, named after the Serbian Prince Karađorđe. It is a variation of the traditional Viennese schnitzel with a Serbian twist.

History[edit | edit source]

The dish is named after the Serbian revolutionary leader Karađorđe, who led the First Serbian Uprising against the Ottoman Empire in 1804. The dish was created in his honor, and its unique shape is said to resemble the shape of Karađorđe's hat.

Preparation[edit | edit source]

Karađorđeva šnicla is made from a rolled veal or pork steak, stuffed with kajmak (a type of clotted cream), then breaded and fried. The meat is first pounded thin with a mallet, then spread with kajmak, rolled up, and secured with toothpicks. The roll is then dipped in flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs, and deep-fried until golden brown. It is often served with roast potatoes and tartar sauce.

Variations[edit | edit source]

There are several variations of Karađorđeva šnicla. Some recipes use different types of meat, such as chicken or turkey, while others use different types of cheese instead of kajmak. Some versions also include ham or bacon in the filling.
