Chef's Note

Strukli are a specialty of the Zagreb region. These little dumplings, filled with cheese, apple or bread crumbs, have become popular throughout the country.

In the north, there are wonderful Christmas strukli served with dried fruit compote (prune, apple and pear).

Ingredients
Ingredients for 4 servings
- 300 g (10 oz.) flour
- Salt to taste
- Warm water
Filling
- 225 g (8 oz.) goat cheese
- 450 g (1 lb.) salt Cod, boiled and desalted
- 1 tbsp. seedless grapes
- 1 tbsp. pine nuts
- 1 tbsp. Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper

Method
  1. Combine the flour and salt with a little warm water. Let rest for 30 minutes.
