Abšmalcane mahune

Abšmalcane mahune is a Croatian dish prepared with green beans, garlic, butter, and breadcrumbs. The green beans are halved and boiled until tender, while butter is melted and combined with garlic and breadcrumbs in a separate pan. Before serving, the cooked green beans are covered with the fried combination of garlic and breadcrumbs.

Bacon can be added to the breadcrumbs and garlic for extra taste, but its addition makes the dish unsuitable for vegetarians. The word abšmalcane is derived from the German word abschmalzen, meaning fried with butter, while mahune refers to the green beans.
