This is a quick and tasty dish that we have called Choc, after the beautiful mountain in Orava. It is very easy to cook, tastes lovely and does not cost very much to make. It is also a suitable dish for vegetarians.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ingredients:

  • - Potatoes (1kg)
  • - Onion (x1)
  • - Oil (1dcl)
  • - 1 tsp. of salt
  • - 1 tsp. of ground black pepper
  • - 2-3 tsp. of mild red pepper
  • - Pasta (200g)

 

You should begin by cleaning the potatoes and then boiling them in their skins (i.e. without peeling them). After they are cooked, peel them and cut them into cubes. Meanwhile, in a separate pot, cook the pasta.

Into a separate pot, add oil and cubed onions, and then fry until the onions turn a light pinkish color. Then add the black pepper, red pepper and a teaspoon of salt, together with the potatoes. After that mix the cooked pasta with the potatoes. Choc is best served with fresh green salad.
