Blitva i kopriva na padelu

Blitva i kopriva na padelu is an old and traditional Croatian dish originating from the Kvarner region. It's made with a combination of chard, nettles, potatoes, garlic, salt, pepper, and olive oil. The nettles, chard, and potatoes are cooked in boiling salted water. Once drained, the ingredients are pounded or mashed, mixed with sliced garlic, then seasoned with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Once everything has been mixed together and the flavors have blended, blitva i kopriva na padelu is served warm, traditionally as a side dish accompanying grilled fish or meat.
