Potkriža

(Bosanski ćevap, Korice)

Potkriža or Bosanski ćevap is a traditional Bosnian dish of pogača bread, beef or veal, beef broth, and sauteed onions cooked and assembled in a big baking dish. The dish dates back to medieval times and was usually prepared for special and festive occasions but is rarely prepared today.


The preparation starts with making pogača with wheat flour, baking soda or baking powder, water, and salt. It needs to turn stale before it's ready to be used. The beef or veal is cooked until done, and the onion is sauteed with the resulting broth.


The first step when assembling the dish is to cut the pogača into rough pieces, arrange them onto a big baking dish, and then pour it over with the beef broth. The beef is shredded and arranged on the pogača, and the sauteed onion is placed on top of everything.
