Blitva- a Croatian dish famous for its simple recipe which offers an indulgent texture and full flavor is also an incredibly rich source of protein, iron, folic acid and magnesium.
The quick and easy recipe requires few, simple ingredients and is ready in just 15 minutes.
This delicious dish offers 14 g of protein and therefore can be eaten alone or accompanied with a simple protein source such as chickpeas, fish or meat.
Traditionally this dish is just spinach or swiss chard, garlic, olive oil, potato, salt and pepper. However I added onion here for more colour, flavor and an extra immune boost.
I hope you enjoy this simple and delicious healthy meal.
Ingredients:
3 small potatoes chopped to 2cm pieces
3 garlic cloves
