GHIVECI---ROMANIAN VEGETABLE STEW

Ghiveci---Romanian Vegetable Stew image

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.

CHICKEN GHIVECI (ROMANIAN BRAISED CHICKEN)

Chicken Ghiveci (Romanian Braised Chicken) image

This is a Romanian chicken dish that we love having with either bread or rice. DH would whip up a lot to last us for days so we don't need to cook much and we never get bored with it. Dried spices are used here to speed up preparation time and preparation time here assumes that the chicken has already been cut.
