How to make
Classic dishes and flavors never get old and are the bearers of many childhood memories and smiles.
With the arrival of spring, nature provides us generously with its gifts and we can't help but take advantage of it as our grandmothers did.
Nettles are one of those precious greens, which are abundant this season, which is why they're the main character in grandma's stew.
It is placed in boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes in advance. Take it out and chop it, by removing the stems.
The onions, tomatoes and celery are grinded or finely chopped. They are fried in the oil and then the peppers are added, cut into larger pieces.
After about 3-4 minutes, add the nettles, paprika and if desired, two spoons of tomato paste (we only add it if our tomatoes are not very ripe and juicy).
Mix everything briefly, add the potatoes, cut into large pieces, as well as the prunes.
The delicious potato stew is salted, pour about 2 liters of water and leave it to simmer over moderate heat for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are fully cooked.
If the potatoes themselves have not released starch to thicken the stew, a spoonful of flour can be dissolved in a little water and added to the dish. Leave it to boil for another 10 minutes and it's ready.
The vegan stew with nettles is served warm preferably with nice homemade village-style bread.
Enjoy your meal!
