Soparnik is the chard pie of Poljica, between Split and Omiš: two thin sheets of unleavened dough around a filling of chard, garlic and olive oil, traditionally baked on a hearth under embers.
Wikipedia dates soparnik to about the 13th century and says it was probably created under oriental influence, as its name suggests. In the past it was prepared as a fasting dish and for celebrations, and its original season was the colder time of the year, when older, sweeter chard was available. The preparation method is a protected intangible cultural heritage of Croatia, and in 2016 the European Commission entered the dish in its register of protected names. Taste of Split 2026 ended with a soparnik workshop.
