How to make
Boil the nettles in boiling water for 2 minutes. Remove them from the water, clean them from the stems and finely chop the tips and leaves.
Cut the spring onions and garlic and fry them in the oil, until they soften.
Add the nettles and stir for 2-3 minutes.
Add the tomato puree, paprika, black pepper and flour. Stir for a minute or two.
i fill us the tablespoons of flour well with the tip, because I like thick nettle porridge, but you can prepare it as you like.
Pour the milk and stir or beat with a wire whisk, so that no lumps form. When it turns into a creamy porridge, add the water in portions, while stirring at all times.
Season with salt and black pepper if desired and boil over medium heat for 20-25 minutes.
Stir, so that the porridge doesn't burn on the bottom and if this happens, reduce the heat even more.
For a thicker nettle porridge, allow the liquid to reduce more and for a more liquid one, dilute it with more milk.
While with boiling the porridge, cook the rice.
In order to do that, melt the butter with a teaspoon of salt in water in the ratio described on the package, depending on the type of rice you use.
When the water boils, put the washed in advance rice from the starch and boil it for 17-20 minutes.
Once it is ready and it has absorbed the liquid, leave it under the lid for 5-10 minutes.
Serve the warm delicious nettle porridge with balls of white rice with butter and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
Enjoy your meal!
