Ajvar Sauce

Method

Preparation of Ajvar

1

Roasting the Vegetables

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the red bell peppers and eggplant in half and place them on a baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil and roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft.

2

Blending

Once the vegetables are roasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Peel the skins off the peppers and eggplant. In a food processor, combine the roasted vegetables, garlic cloves, vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.

3

Cooking the Ajvar

Transfer the blended mixture to a saucepan and cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
