Balkan Food, Seasonings. "Fant," "Vegeta," and recipes

Try seasonings often used in Balkan cooking. Example:  Vegeta, and Fant.  These are common seasonings.  Check ajvar, a red pepper puree, now in nice glass jars.  See them (we get no kickbacks but use a local Balkan specialty shop) at http://www.balkanbuy.com/shop/index.php?action=category&id=bestsellers

Fant:  This comes in envelopes.  So does Vegeta.  Use your envelopes of Fant, and the foil bags of Vegeta, for cevapcici -- the Croatian word for the ground meat dish, like a ground beef or mix, seasoned and packed like a sausage, or put on a spit, and the rest.

Look in your local large supermarket, in the international section. There is msg in the Vegeta, so read the labels.

Look up recipes at http://recipes.wikia.com/wiki/index.php?search=bosnia+herzegovina&fulltext=0.

Ajvar - a pureed roasted red pepper dish, long cooked. Relish. On every plate. Excellent. See its preparation on a video, see  Croatia Road Ways.
