Kajmak defines the flavour of the filling
Kajmak is an important part of the familiar version of this dish. It brings a milky flavour and holds the inside of the rolled schnitzel together. The meat, the filling and the breadcrumb coating should be seen together: if you like simply roasted meat, this is a richer choice; if you enjoy stuffed and breaded dishes, it is clear why Karađorđe’s schnitzel stands out on the menu.
The meat and the way it is served vary from place to place
Karađorđe’s schnitzel can be made with pork or veal, so the name of the dish alone is not enough to tell you what you are ordering. Read the description on the menu in question. The same goes for the side: potatoes are a common accompaniment, but how they are prepared and how much you get depends on the restaurant. Tartar sauce and lemon may come with it, without every version having to be presented as exactly the same.
Karađorđe’s schnitzel at Lazin Salaš
On our current, updated menu, Karađorđe’s schnitzel is described as pork fillet stuffed with kajmak, with home-style potatoes and tartar sauce. That description is a good basis for choosing: you know the type of meat, the filling and the sides. Check the current price on the Lazin Salaš menu, so that before you arrive you have the information from the menu we are using at the time.
How to put together the rest of your lunch
As this is a stuffed, breaded dish, choose a starter according to your appetite rather than automatically adding another hearty plate. A fresh salad brings a different texture to the main course. If you want dessert as well, leave room for it; šne nokle and pastry desserts offer very different ways to end the meal.
When you come with guests who are trying the local home cooking for the first time, it helps to explain what lies behind the name. One will choose Karađorđe’s schnitzel, another a cooked Vojvodina dish. That way a shared lunch becomes a chance to compare flavours, without expecting the whole group to eat the same thing.
A lunch choice in the centre
If you are exploring Novi Sad, combine a walk through the centre with a meal break at Lazin Salaš. If you are coming as a group, you can reserve a table. If you have special dietary requirements, ask the staff about the exact ingredients and preparation, because the general name of a dish does not give you all the information you need.
