Pljeskavica (Serbian Cyrillic: пљескавица, pronounced [pʎɛ̂skaʋitsa], Romanian: Plescaviță) is a Serbian grilled dish consisting of a mixture of spiced minced pork, beef and lamb meat.
[1] It is one of the national dishes of Serbia and is very popular in the neighbouring Balkan and former Yugoslav countries of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Montenegro, as well as Romania.
[2] The dish is also popular in Bulgaria and Romania.
It is a main course[3] served with onions,[1] kajmak (milk cream), beans, sometimes ajvar (relish), and urnebes (spicy cheese salad), either on plate with side dishes, or with lepinja (flatbread, as a type of hamburger[4]).
Recently, pljeskavica has gained popularity elsewhere in Europe and is served in a few speciality fast food restaurants in Germany, Sweden, and Austria.
