For all us fans of spicy, gourmet food, tomato soup with rice and ljutenica is a perfect solution. Whether you serve it warm or cold, they say that this soup is so good that you won't be needing bread to go with it. Another version of classic tomato soup, this time with chard, chickpeas, and ajvar, has completely won our hearts. Ready in no time, this dish, which is wonderful and gentle in flavour, is perfect refreshment during hot days and it will make you feel full. This thick tomato soup with ajvar, proso millet and vegetables makes a whole meal, full of wonderful flavour thanks to home-made ajvar, which is the main ingredient. Refreshing home-made tomato soup is always welcome on the table, especially during summer months when we can use juicy, fresh tomato to make it. And when we boost its flavour with authentic home-made pinđur and serve it with a bit of sour cream and a slice of good bread, it seems like it can't get better, right? To prepare this dish, you'll need a deep casserole dish that can be used for both stove- and oven-cooking. We are all fans of crispy oven-seared pasta, but this particular juicy and really simple version is a real feast for all senses. The main ingredient is lenten lentil Bolognese sauce with the addition of authentic home-made ajvar. You can also sneak in and sear with this sauce any type of vegetable or cheese which you have at hand, but this is optional. It will taste great anyway. Omelet, one of those dishes we start to like as children and of which we are never bored. We call them bruschette even though they’re not made from bread. Let's say that these mouth-watering snacks made from sweet potato and aubergine are a healthy version of bruschette and a more fun one, too, not only thanks to their taste, but also because of the variety of colours that lure us into indulgence in food. This is one of those recipes that works every time, that we’re always happy to return to over and over again, and that we warmly recommend you try.
