📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Gyuvech is both the name of a clay pot and of the dish cooked in it. Beef or pork is layered with plenty of summer vegetables — eggplant, pepper, zucchini, tomato, green beans, okra — and slowly baked in the oven. The vegetables' juices and flavor concentrate in this Bulgarian home dish of summer and autumn.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In a Bulgarian village at the end of summer, a big clay pot packed with vegetables from the garden comes out of the oven and is placed at the center of the family table.
