BULGARIAN "GUVECH"

Today I have decided to blog and share another one of my Bulgarian recipes that I love to make! In Bulgaria it's known as "guvech" which is a pot that they cook the actual dish in. Since you probably don't have one I will be showing you how to cook it in a large sauce pan (that is how I cooked mine.) It's not exactly a soup but it's a potato, vegetable, and meat dish that I promise you will enjoy! It's a bowl of true comfort food on your dinner table that will be ready in an hour or two. And even though it's a piping hot dish, you can make it all year round. I definitely prefer it during this time of year especially in front of the fire place!

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 60 minutes
Total time: 75 minutes (1 hour & 15 min)
Serves: 4-6 people

Ingredients:
Chicken breast (however much you desire)
 1 Large carrot
 1 Celery stick 
 3 Tomatoes
 1 Red, green, and yellow pepper (One of each color)
 1 Zucchini
 1 Large dry onion
 4-5 Peeled potatoes
 Paprika
 Oil
 One tablespoon of flour
 Black pepper
 Mint
 Salt or vegeta (A European spice)
 Water

Directions:
1. Chop the dry onion and place in a large sauce pan then add the chicken breast and let simmer until you hear a sizzle from the oil.
2. Chop the rest of the vegetables and add them in; Add the flour while the vegetable are lightly frying up and stir. After that add all the spices.
3.  Add the water (add water until all the vegetables are covered and then stir.)
4. Let the dish stay in the sauce pan on medium-low heat until the meat is ready to eat and the vegetables are nice and tender.
5. You can eat this with any bread and it is still delicious!
6. All of the vegetables can be replaced with any other vegetable you desire like, peas, green beans, eggplant instead of zucchini, okra, etc!





          Enjoy!!
