Rastan

Rastan is a sort of cabbage. It is not a very widespread and famous vegetable, though in Montenegro it is quite popular—locals use this plant to make some traditional meals. An iconic winter dish has the same name—rastan. Green leaves of the plant are usually cooked with white potatoes, carrots, and cheese. So if you are vegetarian, rastan can be a good option for you to taste Montenegrin cuisine.
