My buddy Reine used to bring this in for lunch at work and today after a long chat with Ren on the phone, I thought I would finally give it a go myself…I was jubious as it sounded terribly bland!
However I’m reporting I’m pleasantly surprised, This would have to be the simplest dish I’ve made yet for a quick dinner. Originating in Croatia … Blitva is delightfully easy to make. I thought about adding a 1/4 tsp finely chopped garlic but decided against it as I wanted to trial it plain first .
Both my kids reported… it didn’t taste like either spinach or potato and I would have to say I agree! Its YUM.
So go ahead and give it a go to get some IRON into your kids.
Blitva
1kg Spinach ( like poppee ate)
2 medium potatoes
3 tblsp olive oil
1 tblsp Massell vegetable Stock
Sea Salt
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the stock.
-
Rinse the Spinach really well to remove sand, then trim from the stems. Tear into
large pieces
- Peel potatoes and cut into small square cubes
- Drop the spinach and potatoes into the boiling water and cook until done
(about 8-10 minutes)
- Drain and drizzle with olive oil. Salt and if you like…pepper to taste.
Simple and deluxe!
