Fresh ingredients for an authentic peka.

Peka is a traditional cooking method that originated in the Balkans, especially Croatia. It consists of cooking food (meat, fish, vegetables) under a metal bell, called a "peka" or "sač", covered with embers and ashes. This technique allows for slow and even cooking, similar to that in a casserole dish or a wood-fired oven.
