    This dish seems to be a real delicacy served with fresh white bread.
    Somehow reminds me of italian antipasti.

    Thank you for the idea!
    Hope there is more to come.

    Thx!

    I don't think the Croatians peel the bell pepper, but I don't see why it would hurt. Peel away!

    Last time I visited granny she made this for me (we are from Bosnia) but she cuts vegs in smaller pieces, and always adds garlic. Vegetables almost melt together. This has to be one of the easiest meals to prepare.
