Peka, called sač elsewhere in the Balkans, is a bell-shaped lid placed over food in a hearth or oven and covered with ashes and live coals; Konoba Varos lists veal, lamb and octopus under it.
Wikipedia says the sač probably comes from the saj, a curved metal utensil used in the Middle East and large parts of Asia, and that it is used today across the Balkans; lamb is its illustrated example. In Split, Konoba Varos lists peka of veal at €25, lamb at €27 and octopus at €32 among its house specialities, to be ordered three hours ahead, and Konoba Korta names peka, brudet and black risotto among its favourite dishes.
