Directions

1. Step

To prepare the Balkan vegetables recipe, first wash the vegetables and cut them into large pieces. I have found that a size of about one centimeter provides the ideal balance between crispiness and juiciness. Finely chop the onions and garlic.

2. Step

Then heat the olive oil in a large pan. Add the onions and garlic and fry until soft. From experience, I recommend not letting the garlic get too dark, otherwise it will taste bitter.

3. Step

Add the chopped vegetables and fry over a high heat. The longer the vegetables roast, the more flavors they can release. However, I have found that 10-15 minutes is usually enough.

4. Step

Add the tomatoes last to keep the dish juicy. Season with salt and pepper and reduce the heat. Stir well and leave to simmer for a further 15-20 minutes.

5. Step

Shortly before the end of the cooking time, add the chopped parsley to the Balkan vegetables and mix everything together well. This keeps the parsley fresh and retains its intense color. Always taste and season if necessary.

6. Step

The Balkan vegetable dish is ready to serve! It tastes just as good as a main course as it does as a side dish with meat or fish. Personally, I like it best served with a fresh salad. Enjoy your meal!
