Bosanski Lonac · Sarajevo

Bosanski lonac is the Bosnian layer stew, building beef or lamb with cabbage, potato, carrot, peppers, garlic and Vegeta seasoning into an earthenware pot, then slow-baking in the oven for 3 to 4 hours.

The lonac (literally 'pot') tradition runs across Bosnian peasant cooking from Ottoman times, with Sarajevo's version receiving the late-Habsburg Vegeta stock-cube addition (Vegeta was invented in Croatia 1959 but landed across Yugoslav cooking). Dveri on Prote Bakovica and Inat Kuca on Veliki Alifakovac both anchor the Sarajevo recipe today.
