Mljetski Makaruli (Croatia)




Mljetski makaruli is a Croatian pasta dish originating from the island of Mljet. It is a poor dish prepared in winter when people cannot go fishing due to storms and bad weather. The dish consists of a simple pasta called makaruli, which is prepared with flour, eggs, water and salt.

The pasta is cooked, arranged on a plate, then combined in alternating layers with olive oil, garlic and grated goat cheese. Mljetski makaruli is often garnished with fresh thyme on top. The dish is traditionally prepared with sea salt collected on the outskirts of the island during the summer months.

The earliest record of white macaroni dates back to the 17th century. Today, this simple dish is typically accompanied by a glass of local red wine called Plavac.
