Buzara - Dalmatian way of cooking shelves in 15 minutes?
Buzara actually means - the oldest way of cooking. In the time of the Venetian, Buzara was the name for the kettle in which food was prepared for the crew. So the Dalmatians took over the Buzara and added scamps (or any kind of shellfish) to it, creating a perfect indigenous dish. Buzara is one of the oldest ways of cooking, once You try it You`ll understand why we kept this tradition for hundreds of years. It’s quick, it’s simple, and it tastes divinely delicious - just make sure You get yourself some fresh shellfish by Your choice and You are good to go!
Ingredients:
1 kg of scamps (or preferred shellfish)
1 dl olive oil
2-3- garlic cloves
half a parcel of parsley
2 dl of white wine
1dl of tomato juice
1 tablespoon cognac
1-2 tablespoons bread crumbs
salt
pepper
(salt &peper as desired)
Traditional recipe
Roast the chopped garlic and parsley in hot olive oil, once garlic becomes golden add scamps, half tablespoon of salt, half tablespoon of pepper and stir it well. Slowly add wine, cognac and tomato juice (if you feel like your sauce is not enough liquid you can add half a cup of water). Cover the pan and let it cook for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, add the bread crumbs and mix well.
As a true Dalmatian place the pan in the middle of the table, along with a large wide spoon. First, serve the scamps, then pour the sauce from the bottom of the pan, sprinkle with chopped parsley .. dip a piece of bread .. and welcome to the paradise. *Scampi on Buzara can also be served with pasta.
Instead of the fork and a knife, place a sufficient number of paper kitchen towels on the table, because for this dish You`ll only need Your fingers. Even Your wine glasses won't be crystal clear, the dish will be so tasty that you won't give a damn for a greasy glass.. :) …
Dobar tek!
