Ajvar is a popular condiment from the Balkans and is made mainly from roasted red bell peppers and eggplants. It has a sweet and slightly tangy taste, with a subtle smoky flavour from the roasted veggies. It's typically served as a dip or spread for bread, crackers, or vegetables, and can also be used as a sauce for grilled veggies or as a sandwich topping.

Looking great ! How long does it last in fridge ?

Hiii Manami! You can store the dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. In case you haven't seen it yet, and it helps in the future, the storage instructions on the app are in the directions tab and the last slide of the "Make" step-by-step instructions ☺️✨

My partner is fructose intolerant and can't have any sugar, so I roasted a small carrot alongside the peppers and eggplants to give it some sweetness. It worked surprisingly well! Thanks for this simple recipe!!

Thank you for sharing a recipe from my region. This is usually made in a large batch and then stored in jars to be used later, during the winter. Ummm, I don't know the English word, but here is a tradition to preserve food for winter and ajvar has an important role here. I'm so happy you've shared this recipe for a smaller batch, so maybe I'll actually try it for the first time :)
