Pečene paprike

(Pržene paprike)

Pečene or pržene paprike is a humble, traditional dish of stir-fried yellow bell peppers. The peppers are cleaned, cut into two or three pieces, and stir-fried in oil in a pan on the stove. They are usually seasoned only with salt, but garlic, sour cream, or milk can also be added.


Once stir-fried, the pan is covered with a lid so the peppers can soften. Pečene paprike is usually eaten with bread and sometimes also tomatoes. It is a dish popular in Bosnia and Herzegovina and parts of Croatia.
