According to the weather forecast it is going to be quite freezing on the last day of 2015 all over Slovenia. So, we need to cook a bit heavier food in order to celebrate New Year’s Eve outside.

Here is our New Year’s Eve menu for tantalizing our taste-buds:

Jota

Jota is well-known dish from Primorska region. It is a thick bean and sauerkraut hotpot soup mostly eaten during autumn/fall and winter time. All ingredients are cooked in one large pot in order the flavours and juiciness to retail. Save a plate or two of it for a day after New Year’s celebration! 🙂

Home-made štruklji – crackling rolled dumplings with spices and eggs

Štruklji are traditional Slovene dish made out of dough and various types of filling. They can be served alone, as a side dish to a meat dish or as a dessert. We prepare štruklji by using a recipe from Robi’s grandmother who is coming from Dolenjska region. Her štruklji are made out of cottage cheese, cracklings, eggs and herbs. A glass of Malvazija wine goes well with a plate of home-cooked štruklji.

Potica

I cannot resist baking another potica this year 🙂 Potica is simply the best festive dessert to finish a great year of 2015.
