This is a very simple Croatian dish. I added garlic and mushrooms to my Blitva. I added the garlic to the onion when it was cooking, then added the mushroom and cooked it until the mushrooms were soft.

It was really difficult to choose a star rating for this recipe. We liked it but it is really really bland. I made this with 2 cloves garlic and mushrooms as noted in the introduction and used 3t. flour (flour amount was not listed). I can see how this could be comfort food - I had mine with cheese on top and my husband had it with pork chops. My husband commented that it may be nice to have it again if it was paired with something with a strong flavor of its own.
