📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Bograč is a specialty of Prekmurje near the Hungarian border: several meats — beef, pork, sometimes venison — go into a big pot with onions and paprika and simmer for hours over an open fire. Similar to goulash, it's distinguished by its variety of meats and the addition of potatoes. It's essential at village festivals and large gatherings.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a village festival in eastern Slovenia, a big pot hung from a tripod bubbles over an open fire as paprika-red stew is ladled into bowls.
