Introduction
http://easteuropeanfood.about.com/od/serbianvegetables/r/djuvece.htm
This recipe for Serbian vegetable casserole or djuvece uses summer's bounty -- zucchini, tomatoes, carrots, celery, potatoes, onions and green pepper. The dish is started on the stovetop and then mixed with rice and baked. It makes a great Lenten dish or vegetarian main course.
Garlic isn't traditional, but I like to add it. You will probably need 2 teaspoons of salt because the rice and veggies really need it, but use at your discretion. Here's a larger picture of vegetable casserole.
