  • About This Recipe

    “This in response to a request, I have not tried it but it sounds wonderful, if you try it please let me know how it is. (From “The Wine and Food of Europe – Marc & Kim Millon). Called Ghivetch.Finally got around to trying this yesterday, served to company and everyone loved it! wish I had tried it sooner, served with a tomato salad and chunks of French bread to sop up the delicious juices.The topping is quite different (for us anyway) kinda like a frittata–very good.)”
