Bulgarian Guvech- Vegetable Casserole With Meat in a Clay Pot - image

This dish has a Turkish name and I guess it's origin is Turkey. However the recipe I am sharing today comes from the Southern part of Bulgaria. It is very healthy meal, full with vitamins and protein. It is usually made with pork or beef, tomatoes,okra, mushrooms, peas, green beans, potatoes, eggplant, onions, herbs, and spices and is often served with "Balkan Mixed Salad", a combination of roasted eggplant, sweet roasted peppers, garlic, tomatoes. The veggies in this dish can vary depending on the season. Here is my version of it. You will need a large clay bowl with lid.

The clay pot cooking method is truly the star of this dish. It imparts a unique flavor and aroma to the guvech that cannot be replicated in a regular pot or pan.
