Podvarak is a dish popular across the countries of the former Yugoslavia, made from sour cabbage, sauerkraut, or fresh cabbage combined with finely chopped onions and meat, usually pork roast or lightly cooked chicken, then baked in an oven so the flavors combine. It is considered poor man's food in parts of Serbia, Montenegro, and North Macedonia, and is commonly seasoned with finely chopped bacon, garlic, ground paprika, and sometimes tomato sauce or chopped sausage, with bacon often used as flavoring even when the base meat is chicken or turkey.
