36 TRAVELLER SUMMER 2011 CROATIA

A feeling of being alive in

which all the senses delight...

Taste the sea… Regardless of whether it’s a classic like lobster or the pearl of the Adriatic – Dubrovnik – Croatia and its cuisine, enchant us anew each year

The thing that could be labelled as “typically Croatian” is the way

food is eaten here. During sunny weather, it’s almost mandatory to

each outside in nature. Barbeques, picnics or simple meals served on

a balcony; this year again in cooperation with Lidl we’re bringing a

piece of Croatia to the table!

When talking

about

Croatian

cuisine, we

speak of a

colourful mix of Mediterranean

and continental cuisine. There is

also a slight oriental influence.

Today Croatian cuisine presents

itself as modern, young and

perky, like the country itself,

which is celebrating its 20th

birthday.

This year we hit the road for you

to discover this country again in

a culinary sense. We hope that

you too will enjoy yourself

while preparing these recipes –

now on your holidays but also

later at home. It is for this reason

that we were careful that all the

ingredients could be found in a

Lidl store in your

neighbourhood.

Olive oil, fresh spices, fresh

vegetables, onions, asparagus,

garlic, zucchini, eggplant, as

well as fish are among the most

important ingredients.

Fresh, light and varied is our

nutrition plan for the hot

summer months. Fish is again

at the top of the list of favourite

meals. Especially light meals of

the Mediterranean cuisine of

Istria, Kvarner and Dalmatia

offer a wide palette of meals,

beginning with seafood or

calamari risotto. Pasta with

lobster or scampi and grilled

fish are also popular. When

buying these sensitive

ingredients during the summer

heat, we suggest you buy them

frozen.

While on holidays we don’t feel

like cooking but even for these

situations we have the right

recipe, and have found many

tasty snacks in Lidl. Finely

gratinated croissants and

salads with a fruity note,

ciabattas, as well as spinach

pizza found their way onto our

list of recipes.

Try our meals and take home a

culinary memento with Adria

Traveller and Lidl.

You will find most of the

ingredients for these

specialities in Lidl stores

along the coast, but also

at home

It’s easy, fast and cheap to cook like a chef

with out summer recipes

In Mediterranean cuisine along the coast,

seafood is found in many recipes

Regardless of whether its meat, vegetables or

fish, barbeques are a favourite all over Croatia
