This dish features a hearty mix of pork or beef, mushrooms, onions, and sometimes bell peppers, all simmered in a savory tomato-based sauce. Often, a splash of wine or brandy is added for complexity. Mushrooms play a crucial role in Selsko Meso for several reasons. First, they contribute a robust, earthy flavor that balances well with the richness of the meat. Second, their texture adds a layer of complexity to the dish, offering a tender yet meaty bite that complements the other ingredients. Lastly, mushrooms are excellent at absorbing flavors, meaning they soak up the tomato sauce and spices, becoming little pockets of intense flavor. Their presence elevates the dish from a simple meat stew to a more nuanced, textured, and flavorful meal, making mushrooms indispensable
