Introduction
This dish brings memories of my father flooding back. Every weekend he would make one form of guvech or another. Vegetable guvech was his favourite and he kept an old earthenware pot for that sole purpose. Somewhere over the years the pot disappeared or was broken and now, whenever I am in Istanbul, I search through the bric-a-brac shops in the hope that I may find a similar one and thereby reproduce something even half as good as my father would make in his. Simple, but extremely tasty, you can also make this dish using haloumi cheese.
