The vegetables are roasted, like an oven-baked spiced ratatouille, with a colourful combination of herbs and sweet, warm spices - as a Turkish-Cypriot, cloves, cinnamon and coriander are essential in my recipe. It’s one of those dishes that can be eaten hot, warm or cold (known as a zeytinyağlı - ‘with olive oil’ - dish in Turkish cuisine). It is simply delicious when served with bread or rice and some thick set natural yogurt or cacık, or stirred through pasta with lashings of grated hellim (of course!).
