Roasting

<br />This dish represents two resolutions of mine. First I decided to try and recreate the recipes of my Bulgarian grandma who past away almost a year ago. The second one, trying to be a flexitarian (eat less than one portion of meat a day), after reading “In Defense of Food” by Michael Pollan and finding it so representative of my ideas about food. Givetch, which it is just the Balkan version of ratatouille, is just perfect for both. I decided to update it a bit by adding few more veggies that my grandma had not used and also not only cook it, but roasted it as well. It adds much more intense the flavors and it adds a second use for that dish as a wonderful sweet paste for next day sandwich (if you can wait for the next day). Yes there is some chopping to do, but you can use as many veggies you have at home (good cleanup for less fresh veggies). I think my grandma would be proud of the updated version and Mr. Pollan will approve as I try to use the veggies I get in the box from the local farm. <br />
