30 Incredible Balkan Foods that will make you hungry #19 Blitva and potatoes

Blitva and potatoes is typically served as a side dish with fish, though it can be a meal in and of itself. Found along the Adriatic Coast, this dish combined blitva (a cross between spinach and swiss chard) with boiled potatoes. Fresh garlic and onions may be added for a simple, yet delicious veggie-friendly dish!

Usually this is served at most restaurants year-round, though blitva is harvested in the winter. You can easily modify and make this at home with either blitva or some type of chard or collard greens mixed with potatoes and olive oil!
