Authentic Bosnian Slow-cooked Fish Dumplings

Assemble the ingredients: fish, garlic, lemon juice, paprika, black pepper, butter, stock.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the fish and cook until slow-cooked.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Bosnian flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Bosnian accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
