Peka, traditional cooking technique from Dalmatia, Croatia

  1. On the other side of the Adriatic sea, we call the lid “coppo” and the cooking technique “sotto al coppo” or *under the lid*. Lamb and potatoes *under the lid* is a staple Christmas dish in my region. Delicious stuff.

  2. I don’t get the lid thing. That’s like steaming it. You use a wood burning oven because you want the smoke flavours to get inside the meat, the lid is pointless.

    Am i missing something?
