HISTORY OF GASTRONOMY IN

Vinodol valley

Grape-wine has been grown in Vinodol ever since the ancient times, when it was brought here by the Romans. Since then until the 20th century, Vinodol is filled with grape-wine. However, at that time, grape-wine had been affected by the phylloxera blight, which destroyed the plantations, and this subsequently led to the great emigration from Vinodol. The plantations of grape-wine, especially of the autochthonous sort called Žlahtina have been revived only recently and the production of wine is growing again.

The basis of living in Vinodol from ancient times was the land. It was fertile, but there was not much of it. The settlers were sowing wheat, barley, sorghum and millet, planting potatoes, cabbage, turnip, carrot, onions etc. People also engaged in cattle breeding, especially of cows and sheep.

The most common dishes were made of cultivated vegetables, such as beans, potatoes, pickled cabbage, turnip, seakale beet. Porridge and polenta were inevitably on the daily menu. Meat, on the other hand, was very rarely on the menu. One of the most popular autochthonous dishes is the bribirski prisnac. The menu was fulfilled by self-grown plants – asparagus, dandelion, fennel, dandelion greens, lamb’s-quarters, and wild fruit such as sorb-apple, strawberries, raspberries, hawthorn, rose hip etc. The area is also favourable for fruit growing, especially of cherries , figs and grape-wine and excellent brandy is made of these fruits.

Bribirski prisnac

Mrs. Biserka Lončarić sent us an excellent recipe that is very popular during Lent, and it works like this:

BRIBIRSKI PRISNAC

– 1 škripavac cheese (Fresh cheese)
– 1/2 kg of bacon, and maybe half bacon, and half buđole or prosciutto
– 1/2 kg of onion or shallots (spring onion)
– 12 eggs
– 1 margarine and 2 dcl of oil
– 1/2 kg of flour
– a little salt and a little pepper as needed

The onion (red onion) is cut into cubes, the bacon also and all together put on margarine and oil. Saute until the onion is half-sautéed. When there are onions (shallots) for Easter, then those green stalks are also simmered.

When the mixture has cooled, add scrambled eggs, diced cheese, flour, salt to taste and if someone wants to pepper and mix everything lightly. Place in a well-greased pan, lightly sprinkled with flour so that the mixture does not get caught and bake at a high temperature for about 50 minutes. When the prisnac has cooled, it is cut into slices.

Good apetite !
