Ghivetch/Givetch (P, KLP, TNT)
Source: www.netcooks.com
Serves: 5

1 onion, white or red
2 eggplants, cut in half
2 large bell peppers, red and yellow preferred
2 large tomatoes (optional: use canned stewed tomatoes instead of fresh ones
3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons crushed garlic
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro or green onion for decoration
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: add 1 to 2 tbsp. of sesame oil (not for Pesach)

In this Moldavian "ratatouille" all ingredients are cooked separately, but simultaneously and then mixed in a bowl.

Eggplants:
Cut in half and lightly salt.

Place an eggplant in a small paper bag, or just cover and put into the microwave. Approximate microwave time is 7 to 10 min, or until the eggplant has changed color and is visibly tender.

Remove the skin, and cut the remaining vegetable into small pieces. Place in a mixing bowl.

Bell peppers, Onions, and Tomatoes:
Cut bell peppers and onions into thin circles, and then cut each pepper round into two to three parts.

In a sautéing pan, place onions first, and then add peppers in a couple of minutes. Sauté in oil approximately 5 to 10 minutes, or as you wish.

You can chop tomatoes and add them to the pan 2 to 3 minutes before the end or use a can of steamed tomatoes to add right into the mix.

Assembly:
Add all the ingredients to the mixing bowl.

Add crushed garlic, salt, pepper, and cilantro (you don't have to use this herb if you don't like it).
