GHIVECI---ROMANIAN VEGETABLE STEW
This is my favorite Romanian dish. It is popular in summer and during Ortodox lent, when hen you can't eat meat. The recipe can vary a lot....in the late summer people put in eggplant sometimes, in the earlier summer zucchini. Use what is best for the season. Make sure to follow the cooking order so that nothing gets too mushy. Serve this with rice. Some people even add a bit of rice towards the end of the cooking time.

- Add water and tomatoes, salt and pepper, and thyme and paprika. Bring to a boil.
- Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are almost tender.
- Add the other optional veggies (eggplant etc.) of your choice. Return to a boil, cover and simmer.
