About Pljeskavica

Pljeskavica is a traditional Serbian dish widely celebrated across the Balkans. This flavorful, juicy patty is made primarily from a blend of ground meats, typically beef, pork, lamb, or veal, seasoned with spices such as paprika, garlic, and onions. Sometimes mixed with breadcrumbs or eggs for added texture, pljeskavica is grilled and served hot. It’s commonly enjoyed with accompaniments like flatbread, kajmak (a creamy dairy spread), onions, and ajvar (red pepper relish). Rich in protein from its meat base, pljeskavica can be a filling choice, but it’s often high in saturated fat, particularly when prepared with fattier cuts of meat. The traditional toppings and spreads, while delicious, may add calories and sodium to the dish. For a lighter option, leaner meats and moderate additions can make pljeskavica a more balanced meal choice while preserving its authentic flavors.
