Best Croatian Piglet Odojak U Pecnici Recipes
CROATIAN PIGLET ("ODOJAK U PECNICI")
Now, this is a typical Croatian meal. It is a variation of a whole piglet on a spin machine (we call it in Croatia: a happy machine) when you have only a part of a piglet. Anyway, it tastes the same, maybe even better. It goes excellent with sauerkraut.

Steps:
- Wash the piglet leg and salt it. DO NOT salt the skin.
- Cut the skin with sharp knife and make a "chess board" on it.
- Preheat oil in a pot. Pour HOT oil over the piglet skin and quickly put the piglet in hot oven (220°C).
- You bake piglet as follows: 1 kg = 1 hour.
- After 15 min reduce heat to 180°C and pour over piglet 1/3 of your beer.
- After approximately 1,5 hours pour over another 1/3 of your beer.
- About 20 minutes before it is done heat the over back to 220°C and pour over the piglet last 1/3 of your beer.
- Wondering around hot oven obviously requires more than half a litre of beer, so keep one for the piglet and three for you.

Steps:
- CHICKEN CUTLETS:.
- Chill a medium sized mixing bowl in the freezer.
- Place the boned chicken meat on a board and chop thoroughly with a sharp knife until fine or grind the meat in a meat grinder. (You can use a food processor for this but you must take extreme care not to over-process the meat as the texture of your cooked cutlets will be too heavy.).
- Add the meat to the chilled bowl. Add salt and white pepper to taste, the nutmeg and 5 tablespoons of the butter, melted. Mix well. Return the bowl and mixture to the freezer to chill once more while you prepare the dredging station. Do not freeze.
- Season the flour with salt and white pepper and place on a length of wax paper. Break the egg into a pie plate and beat with the vegetable oil and water. Place the bread crumbs on another length of wax paper.
- Divide the chilled mixture into 6 to 8 portions and shape each into a 1/2 inch thick cutlet. Dip one cutlet at a time into the flour, then in egg, then in bread crumbs. Press the crumbs gently into the cutlets then chill them until ready to cook. ( The cutlets may be made several hours ahead to this point. Keep cutlets refrigerated until ready to cook.).
- Heat the remaining butter in a large skillet and careful add the cutlets. Cook until golden brown on one side then turn and cook on the other.
- Serve with the Paprika Sauce.
- PAPRIKA SAUCE:.
- Melt one tablespoon of the butter in a small saucepan and cook the onion until wilted. Sprinkle with the paprika, flour and thyme, stirring. Stir in the chicken stock, using a whisk and simmer about 3 minutes. (The sauce may be made several hours ahead up until this point.).
- Add the cream and bring to a boil. Add the lemon juice, salt and white pepper to taste and the cognac.
- Strain the sauce through a sieve. Return to the heat and stir in the remaining butter and the sour cream. Heat the sauce through but do not bring to a boil.
