Stirred Dish with Nettle and Prunes
Timing icons on the page: 30 min, 2 portions, difficulty 1/5. A century ago in the Central Balkan they made a porridge only from nettle, blanching it and mashing it with a 'drokulki' — a special wooden tool with short branches at the lower end. They seasoned the stirred nettle with walnuts and salt. Because of the little they had at their disposal, our grandmothers and grandfathers often invented culinary masterpieces from three ingredients.
