Karađorđeva šnicla

Karadjordje's steak ( _sr. Karađorđeva šnicla - Карађорђева шницла) is a Serbian dish named after the Serbian Prince Karadjordje. It is a rolled veal or pork steak, stuffed with "kajmak", breaded and baked (or fried). It is served with roasted potatoes and tartar sauce.

The steak is sometimes called "girls' dream" (девојачки сан, "devojački san"),cite news
