SO HOW'D IT GO?
This recipe is awesome! I tried it years ago and for some stupid reason never reviewed it! It's a great way to use up summer veggies. I do mine in a dutch oven because I always make it when I have too many zucchinis, eggplants and tomatoes and that usually means the dog days of summer. I really should do it in a crockpot overnight- that would work really well for this recipe! I add a lot of thyme and nutmeg because it really adds kick. Try to use small zucchini because they're more tender. I had a friend from Albania and she said this was an authentic Albanian dish- she was surprised I'd even heard of it! Definitely going to be making this again very soon (will try a crockpot)!
