Blitva Croatian Swiss Chard Dish


A traditional dish in dalmatian cuisine, this is very easy to make. it makes a perfect side for fish, cooked meat or, my favorite, cured meat such as prosciutto. it can be made more creamy when potatoes are very well cooked, or soupy when more liquid is preserved. On my scale this would be 3.5 stars (please see how i rate recipes).

Steps


Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add peeled and cubed potatoes.
Rinse the swiss chard , remove tough stems , and cut into 1 / 2 in strips.
When potatoes are almost done , add the swiss chard , and cook all together for an additional 10 minutes.
Saut garlic on olive oil , and add the cooked drained chard and potatoes to it.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Stir and cook for 1 more minute in order to bring all flavors together.
