Karadjordjeva Snicla

Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes

Karadjordjeva snicla is a breaded cutlet dish named after the Serbian revolutionary Karadjordje, consisting of a rolled veal, pork, or chicken steak stuffed with kaymak, then breaded and fried. It is served with tartar sauce and a slice of lemon, sometimes with french fries or steamed vegetables, and was created by Josip Broz Tito's chef Mica Stojanovic in 1956 or 1957 as an improvisation of chicken Kiev; Stojanovic unsuccessfully tried to patent his original recipe, which has since been adapted into several variations and become a regular staple of Serbian cuisine.
