Roasted Anaheim peppers
I came upon this simple recipe while traveling this summer. I was in Bosnia visiting a friend of mine. The produce there is quite abundant and the countryside verdant.
She knows I eat a mostly vegetarian diet, so she bought a bunch of "paprika" which I think is our equivalent of Anaheim peppers but not as spicy. She roasted them for me this way and I have been enjoying them ever since.
She knew I liked cheese so added it on top, but this can be enjoyed without cheese also.
