Pictured above is a "sac", which is a special bell shaped lid used with a cast iron pot. It's specially shaped to hold hot coals, similar to a camp oven.
Note that the pot is partially buried in hot ashes, in which it slow cooks.
It's a popular method in Turkey, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Bosnia.
Usually meat and potatoes, or meat and veggies, or bread is cooked under a sac.
Most popular is roasted lamb.
I have been looking for one of these for some time do you know where I might be able to find one.
ReplyDeleteI actually don't, unfortunately.
