Recipe of Borage with potatoes

Vida Recetas Editorial

Borage with potatoes is a traditional dish of Spanish cuisine, especially popular in Aragon, that combines borage, a leafy vegetable with a slightly bitter taste and tender texture, with the potato, a versatile ingredient that adds creaminess and consistency. This recipe is ideal for those looking for a healthy, light, and easy-to-prepare meal, perfect as a starter or side dish.

Why does this combination work?

The potato acts as an excellent complement to soften the flavor of borage, while the garlic sauté in extra virgin olive oil enhances the natural flavors of both vegetables. The result is a comforting, nutritious, and low-calorie stew, suitable for vegetarian diets and for the whole family.

Variations and tips

  • You can add a pinch of cumin or paprika to the sauté for a different touch.
  • If you prefer a softer texture, you can mash the potato.
  • Serve borage with potatoes as a main dish accompanied by a poached egg or with white rice.
