Idrijski \u017elikrofi is a specific style made in Idrija, a region of Slovenia. This dish is the first Slovenian dish to be granted a protected geographical status and rightfully so! You can eat them just boiled and plain or with different toppings like a stew or cracklings.

Not because it is made of sheep heart, liver, and lungs and seasoned with onions, spices, and oatmeal, but because it is really, really delicious.
