Štokalj s jajima

(Kajgana sa suhom hobotnicom)

Štokalj s jajima or kajgana sa suhom hobotnicom is a traditional dish originating from the Kvarner area, and it's especially popular on the island of Rab. The dish is made with a combination of štokalj (wind-dried octopus), eggs, onions, and olive oil.


The štokalj is cut into slices and it's then mixed with the eggs and onions sautéed in olive oil. The mixture is cooked until the eggs develop the desired consistency. Interestingly, there is no need for salt as the dried octopus is already salty.


The dish is served for breakfast or as a light appetizer.
