Palenta kompirica
(Krumpirica, Kumusnica)
Palenta kompirica is a traditional dish originating from the Čavle area. The dish consists of corn flour polenta and potatoes. The potatoes are cut into smaller pieces and cooked in salted boiling water. When most of the water evaporates, the cooked polenta and some wheat flour are added to the pot.
After a few minutes, the mixture is mashed from 40 minutes to an hour. As the mixture is mashed, it should get slightly burned in order to achieve the typical aroma and flavor of palenta kompirica. Once done, the dish is usually served with Grobnik cheese and various dishes such as fried sardines, fried eggs, maneštra, or gulaš.
