This is a very popular dish in the Kobarid area, and is known by several dialect names (such as poštokja, štoklja, štakanje). It is a vegetable and potato puree-type dish with dripping. The original name comes from the method of preparation, with the cooked vegetables being thoroughly mashed and squeezed.
Ingredients (quantities are not given, since the preparation of this dish depends on your own creativity and the ingredients that are available):
