Pljeskavica · Belgrade
Pljeskavica is the Serbian burger-patty, a flat grilled disc of minced pork and beef the diameter of the lepinja bread it sits in. Topped with kajmak, raw onion and ajvar.
Pljeskavica codified in 20th-century Yugoslavia as the Serbian alternative to Bosnian cevapi: same Ottoman-grilled-meat lineage but pressed into a disc. The Leskovacka pljeskavica from southern Serbia is the canonical regional anchor. The Belgrade Burger Festival at Kalemegdan elevates the contemporary version each May.
