What the hell are Ćvarci you may well ask and with good reason, why my friend they are the ultimate bar snack, salt and vinegar crisps, dirty old peanuts, forget about it !!!! basically you get a slab of bacon ( smoked is perfect ) with skin attached and dice into say 1 inch cubes you then slowly fry in a cast iron pot on a low heat until all the fat has been rendered out and you are left with the skin and the meat, place on absorbent paper ( my one concession to a healthy angle in this article ) I like to let them cool and then toss in paprika powder and there you have it. Winter is the traditional time to make them as that's when most of the gorgeous piggy byproducts are made, but if I get a couple of takers I will make them and deliver to a chosen venue to wash down with a fine beer ( maybe a karlovacko ) who's game ???
What its been a good two weeks and still no takers for the cvarci come on someones got to be game.
