CROATIAN SPINACH STEW ( SPINAT CUSPAJZ")



Croatian Spinach Stew ( Spinat Cuspajz

This recipe is at least 200 years old. My grand-grandmother was preparing spinach that way, my, grandmother was preparing that way, my mother was preparing that way, so I am preparing it that way. This is very healthy meal, although it is prepared on pork fat. One important fact: never re-heat the spinach - you will have digestion problems.
