Bela maneštra

(Maneštra od riže i krumpira)

Bela maneštra is a traditional dish originating from the Kvarner area. This simple type of maneštra is made with a combination of potatoes, rice, oil, water, salt, pepper, and parsley. The potatoes are peeled, cut into cubes, and cooked until tender.


The rice, salt, pepper, parsley, and oil are added to the pot and the maneštra is simmered for about 15 minutes before it's ready to be enjoyed. During the cooking process, the mixture should be continuously stirred. This maneštra is called white maneštra because of its pale color that's unlike most other types of maneštra.
