Peka with veal rib

"Peka with veal rib", here the autumnal variant with u.a. Pumpkin prepared in Stari Grad on the island of Hvar at the end of October is one of the most delicious options for me as a peka dish. It is important to get the meat on the bone from the butcher of trust - in Germany, unfortunately, hardly any or only by pre-order. Depending on the taste and size of the enamelled pan, you need the following ingredients: 3-4 red onions, 4 cloves of knofi, 5 potatoes, 2 red peppers, 1/3 Hokaido pumpkin, a large carrot, a handful of celery cubes, fresh herbs, a quarter Liters of wine, a sip of beer and of course the meat on the bone divided into several pieces.


First, the vegetables are cleaned and chopped, and the pieces of meat are first seasoned and evenly distributed in the pan without seasoning - the herbs and the wine are added later after about half the cooking time ...
Now the ingredients are salted in the pan, peppered, refined with paprika powder and poured with 5-6 tablespoons of olive oil and gently massaged in. Time to "let" our pan contents.
While the vegetables and meat are marinating, the fire is prepared, a beer is opened and the atmosphere is enjoyed until the embers are ready. Then put the enamelled pan under the peka and spread the embers on and around it. Now the dish is allowed to shave in its own juice for 40 - 45 minutes. After the time is carefully opened and the wine and fresh herbs - here rosemary - added, closed again and braised for another 45 - 50 minutes. Depending on the size of the pan contents and the amount of ingredients, the cooking time varies between 90 and 130 minutes - also of course depending on the heat and amount of embers. Of course, you can also cook the delicacy much longer with less embers - depending on your mood.
Opened after just under 90 - 100 minutes, the divine scent of the delicacy exudes in the environment. A sock "to put in" has arisen. The meat super tender and the side dishes "a poem!" Dobar tek! Good Appetite!
