roasted eggplants & peppers (preferably on fire) and then cooked with tomato sauce, oil, salt, sugar... slowly on fire again
- that's the recipe that I was used to growing up, except the sugar, usually the peppers would be sweet enough.
The TV series is called Undercover/Pod prikritie, at some point I ran out of anything good to watch and I came upon this one, managed to watch the first 4 seasons with breaks in-between.
If you ever plan to watch any romanian series, there's only 2 that I can recommend: Umbre and Spy/Master
