Matevž (puréed beans with cracklings) is a Slovene national dish. The dish is typical of central Slovenia, especially of the Kočevsko region. It is made of beans and potatoes. Its origins come from the 19th century. Originally the lower social classes ate it as a main course. The dish is also known as krompirjev mož (potato man), medved (bear) or even as belokranjski mož (Bela krajina man). The term matevž is a derivative from male name Matej or Matevž (Matthew).
