Tip
Blitva tastes best when served warm. It is the classic side dish for grilled gilt-head bream (Dorade) or sea bass.
For a particularly fine touch, you can add a splash of fresh lemon juice over the dish at the end.
Gurkerl Küche
Blitva schmeckt am besten, wenn sie noch warm serviert wird. Sie ist die klassische Beilage zu gegrillter Goldbrasse (Dorade) oder Wolfsbarsch. Ein Spritzer frischer Zitronensaft am Ende hebt die Aromen zusätzlich.
