Grilled pork steak, croquettes and zucchini

Hey guys! So I know I’m not the only one thinking of food so many times during the day. I find myself going through recipes in my head while on my way to work or class driving in a tram. It’s been less than a month that I’ve been working at my new student job and I have to say the job is amazing. Not only that I find myself thinking of recipes in the tram, it’s also during my studying or while running around doing errands for my job.

For a delicious dinner or lunch it doesn’t take much, with a great combination of meat and vegetables you can get an amazing dish in just a few steps. This recipe is not hard at all, you prepare the meat, make your own croquettes and grill zucchini with extra virgin olive oil, preferably from Istria, or any other part of Croatia – we really have very tasty olive oil prepared all over the coast of Croatia.

Have a great day, filled with delicious food & enjoy yourself – you deserve it!
