Jota is a hearty soup or stew that is a traditional dish in Slovenia. It is made with a mixture of beans, potatoes, sauerkraut, and bacon or ham, and seasoned with garlic and bay leaves. The ingredients are simmered together until they are soft and the flavors have melded together. Some variations of Jota may also include additional ingredients such as carrots, onions, and celery. This dish is commonly enjoyed during the colder months and is considered a comfort food in Slovenia. It is typically served with crusty bread for dipping.
