The name might lead you to think it’s an Italian dish with a Balkan twist. A light, fun, vibrant and tasty sounding recipe.
This dish is perfect for both vegetarians and vegans. Main ingredient are the champignon mushrooms, a rare food that is not of animal origin, but is none the less a great source of protein. In addition, champignons contain different minerals and vitamins. Interestingly, they pack more vitamin C then lettuce.
However, even though they are the main ingredient, they are not the star of this dish. That title goes to ajvar with tomato, a salad made of eggplant, tomatoes, peppers and garlic. Ajvar with tomato is what makes this dish special and original, thanks to its characteristic list of ingredients and preparation process.
Tagliatelle with mushrooms and ajvar with tomato represent a fusion of natural tastes that will turn lunch or dinner into a playful experience.
