Peka refers to both a cooking method and the resulting dish, typically involving meat (often lamb or octopus) and vegetables, baked slowly under a cast-iron or clay bell-shaped lid. The lid is covered with hot embers, creating a unique convection oven effect that tenderizes the ingredients and infuses them with smoky flavors. This ancient technique is still widely used today, especially in Dalmatia.
