Gyuvech in Bulgarian has its name due to the fact that it is a traditional dish of Bulgarian cuisine. Exactly the same name is also used for the preparation of gyuvech - a clay pot. Portioned pots are called guveche.
Like any traditional dish, guvech has many versions. Depending on the terrain, the season, the composition of seasonings and components changes. And, as happens with any recipe, each hostess has her own guvech, adapting it for her family. There are no special laws in the preparation of a camel - what was found was put in a pot - very convenient!
