These were truly wonderful! It will definitely keep the vampires away!I am not a fan of lamb but thought I would give it a try, because a friend introduced me to this dish. Next time I will make them with just the veal and pork.I roasted the peppers and eggplant on the BBQ which made the ajvar sauce very silky and smoky...delicious!Thank you for this recipe. We will certainly be making it again!
