Vegetables & Vegetable Dishes

Large families with limited resources consider meat a luxury, which they can enjoy only sporadically; however, they need not feel deprived as a big variety of vegetarian dishes, equally rich and equally enjoyable, can still provide them with the required daily nutrients. It is customary to cook the vegetables for a long time in order to get a soft dish that can be eaten with kmaj bread. Many of those dishes include a rich thick sauce, often a tomato sauce, and in spring many are based on green, leafy vegetables.
