The book gives no quantities; the amounts below are ours.
Method
4 soļi- Pick over the greens, throwing away tough stems and any discoloured leaves, and wash them well. Wash the dill.
- Boil the greens and dill in salted water for 3–4 minutes. Drain, cool under cold water, squeeze hard and chop finely.
- Put them in a pan with the milk and simmer for 5 minutes. Whisk the flour with 2 tbsp cold milk or water and stir it in (or stir in the breadcrumbs), then simmer for 2–3 minutes, stirring, until thick. Season with salt.
- Put the sour cream into a warm serving bowl, pour the hot greens on top and stir well. Serve at once.
Notes
What the book says vs. what we added
the method is the book's: the greens picked over, washed and boiled in water, the dill too; then squeezed, finely chopped, cooked in fresh milk and thickened with a little flour or crumbled bread; sour cream put in the dish, the greens poured on and everything mixed well. The amounts and times are ours.
Balandas
fat hen or lamb's quarters (Chenopodium album), a common weed of gardens and fields, eaten across the Baltic and Eastern Europe. German Melde also means garden orache (Atriplex hortensis), grown as a spinach. Pick young plants from May to July, before they flower, and only from clean ground away from roads and sprayed or heavily manured fields, since the plant stores nitrates. Like spinach it contains oxalic acid; boiling it and throwing the water away, as the book does, reduces it. Substitutes: spinach, chard, or a mix with young nettles. Seed catalogues sell orache, and "magenta spreen" (a goosefoot).
Not purslane
the book's word for purslane is partulaks (01-014).
Sour cream goes in last, off the heat, so it doesn't split.

- druszin miltu jeb sabersts maises mihkstums peelikts: miltu ģenitīvā, mihkstums nominatīvā; tā iespiests.
