The recipe for them came to Idrija along with the mining, but unfortunately the exact origin of the dish is unknown. The beautiful pasta dish with its characteristic shape of Napoleon&#8217;s hat was on the menu at every feast and was also said to help settle family disputes. In Idrija, \u017elikrofi are traditionally served with bakalca (mutton stew), which was said to be so good that the eaters dipped (bakati \u2013 dated expr. for dipping in Slovene) their bread in it. Idrija \u017elikrofi is now protected at the EU level as a &#8216;Traditional Speciality Guaranteed&#8217;.<\/p><p><strong>Ocvirkovca<\/strong><\/p><p><\/p><p>The story of this savoury roulade with crackling filling is connected with the Idrija miners. As they often suffered from mercury poisoning, they were given bacon to chew as the grease binds with mercury and helps ease the symptoms. However, the miners often preferred to give the bacon to their wives who used it in their ocvirkovca.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/270178505_4582831978496783_3607973699762393701_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/270178505_4582831978496783_3607973699762393701_n-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-136249 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/270178505_4582831978496783_3607973699762393701_n-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/270178505_4582831978496783_3607973699762393701_n-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/270178505_4582831978496783_3607973699762393701_n-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/270178505_4582831978496783_3607973699762393701_n-391x260.jpg 391w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/270178505_4582831978496783_3607973699762393701_n-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/270178505_4582831978496783_3607973699762393701_n-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/270178505_4582831978496783_3607973699762393701_n-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/270178505_4582831978496783_3607973699762393701_n-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/270178505_4582831978496783_3607973699762393701_n-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/270178505_4582831978496783_3607973699762393701_n-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/270178505_4582831978496783_3607973699762393701_n-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/270178505_4582831978496783_3607973699762393701_n-90x60.jpg 90w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/270178505_4582831978496783_3607973699762393701_n-135x90.jpg 135w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/270178505_4582831978496783_3607973699762393701_n.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/270178505_4582831978496783_3607973699762393701_n-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-136249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/270178505_4582831978496783_3607973699762393701_n-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/270178505_4582831978496783_3607973699762393701_n-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/270178505_4582831978496783_3607973699762393701_n-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/270178505_4582831978496783_3607973699762393701_n-391x260.jpg 391w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/270178505_4582831978496783_3607973699762393701_n-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/270178505_4582831978496783_3607973699762393701_n-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/270178505_4582831978496783_3607973699762393701_n-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/270178505_4582831978496783_3607973699762393701_n-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/270178505_4582831978496783_3607973699762393701_n-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/270178505_4582831978496783_3607973699762393701_n-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/270178505_4582831978496783_3607973699762393701_n-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/270178505_4582831978496783_3607973699762393701_n-90x60.jpg 90w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/270178505_4582831978496783_3607973699762393701_n-135x90.jpg 135w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/270178505_4582831978496783_3607973699762393701_n.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/figure><p><strong>Smukavc<\/strong><\/p><p><\/p><p>If you are ready to taste a traditional Idrija dish, you cannot go wrong with smukavc.
