Motar, zdravlje kraj mora // Samphire, Health by the Sea

Na posebnom mjestu – u čarobnom đardinu Župaho Steak Housea održano je ove nedjelje, zadnji dan Festivala, posebno predavanje koje je oduševilo publiku. Ugledna gastro povjesničarka Jadranka Ničetić predstavila je temu Motar, zdravlje kraj mora: Priča o mediteranskom čudu, izazvavši iznimnu pažnju okupljenih.

Okušali smo se u pripremi tradicionalnih jela s motarom: motar s patatama, rižot od motra, fritaja s motrom... A čips je bio posebna poslastica! Jadranka Ničetić već je ranije popularizirala ovu iznimnu biljku kroz recepte u Solani Ston tijekom Festivala soli, a sada smo u Župi imali priliku doživjeti motar u novom, kreativnom izdanju, kao svojevrsni hommage namirnici koja je othranila brojne generacije, osobito u vremenima oskudice.

U nesvakidašnjem ambijentu vrta, uz zalogaje inspirirane morem i tradicijom, sudionici su otkrili fascinantni svijet motra – mediteranske biljke iznimnih nutritivnih i ljekovitih svojstava. Na kraju Festivala, motar se potvrdio kao zvijezda pjata, ali i kao simbol zdravlja s obale.

Festival 'Župski pjat' traje do 27. travnja i uključuje brojne tradicionalne, edukativne i gastronomske programe. Program Festivala sufinanciraju TZO Župa dubrovačka i TZ Dubrovačko-neretvanske županije, uz podršku volontera, donatora i prijatelja projekta.

The magical garden of Župaho Steak House was a perfect spot on the final day of the Festival Župski pjat, where a truly special lecture delighted the audience. Renowned food historian Jadranka Ničetić presented the topic Samphire, Health by the Sea: A Tale of Mediterranean Wonder, capturing the full attention of those gathered.

We tried our hand at preparing traditional dishes with samphire: samphire with potatoes, samphire risotto, samphire frittata… And the samphire chips were a real treat! Jadranka Ničetić had already helped popularize this exceptional plant through traditional recipes during the Salt Festival at the Ston Saltworks, and now in Župa, we had the opportunity to experience samphire in a new, creative form, as a kind of hommage to an extraordinary plant that nourished many generations, especially in times of scarcity.

In the unique garden setting, with bites inspired by the sea and tradition, participants discovered the fascinating world of samphire – a Mediterranean plant of exceptional nutritional and medicinal value. At the close of the Festival, samphire emerged as the star of the plate, and a symbol of coastal well-being.

Župski pjat Festival offers a range of traditional, educational, and culinary programs. The Festival is co-financed by the Župa dubrovačka Tourist Board and the Dubrovnik-Neretva County Tourist Board, with support from volunteers, donors, and friends of the project.
