Preparation with briquettes
Depending on the size, burn approx. 12-14 briquettes and place 4-6 on the lid while simmering, the rest under the Dutch Oven.
Preparation
1
Wash the peppers, deseed them and cut them into cubes. Peel and finely chop the garlic and onions.
2
Put about 3 tablespoons of butter in the preheated Dutch oven. Now add the onions, garlic and peppers and fry everything for a few minutes until the onions are translucent.
3
Add about 4 tablespoons of tomato purée and deglaze the ingredients with water, the vegetable stock, chopped tomatoes and ajvar.

Put the rice in the pot and season the Djuvec rice with the paprika powder. Place the lid and about 1/3 of the briquettes on the oven and leave the rice to simmer for about 20 minutes. Then add the slightly thawed peas. Season the recipe with salt and pepper and simmer the rice for a further quarter of an hour. Make sure to stir occasionally so that the rice doesn't burn.
