Ajvar

Ajvar is a flavorful condiment originating from the Balkans, made primarily from roasted red peppers, sometimes combined with eggplant, garlic, and chili. Its rich, smoky taste and smooth or chunky texture make it versatile for spreading on bread, as a side dish, or as a topping for meats and sandwiches. Typically prepared by roasting and blending the vegetables, ajvar is often preserved in jars for year-round enjoyment. It is valued for its vibrant flavor, natural ingredients, and cultural significance in regional cuisine.
