How to make the famous roasted red pepper & eggplant spread - AJVAR 

You will be amazed with its taste.

@@ivanalalicki I just made some last night it was magnificent. I simmered the garlic in some grapeseed oil while roasting the peppers. Then I cooked the peppers and eggplant for a while to evaporate the water and it got thick. I slowly stirred in the garlic and oil with some sea salt. I water bath canned it for 15-20 mins for half pints.

Never thought about eating rice with ajvar, I love bread and pastry.

Ha, I was making ajvar yesterday! I hope yours will turn out well too.

Which brand did you buy, some of them are very good. However, try to make ajvar, it is fun.

@@ivanalalicki the brand I bought was Wildfare.

​@@salsaslinger7585 Never heard of it, it's an American brand, from NYC. I always buy the Balkan brands such as Mama's and Granny's Secret, they are the best.

I am glad you like it. If you apply the method described in the video you can preserve ajvar for a few months in a dark and cool place. However, I always keep ajvar in my fridge, because I am not sure that my pantry is cold enough, so I never tried it.

Yes, they are better than bell peppers.

Nije to ništa, ima mnogo komplikovanijih kuhinjskih projekata. A ajvar je stvarno super sa čim god da ga jedeš. Čak i sa avokadom i mocarelom, to je moj čest doručak.

@@ivanalalickiNije komplikovan, slažem se nego naporan u situaciji kad naši po selima kupe po 100kg paprike pa raspale smederevac i udri. Po 3 dana se ne spava 😄

@@Milebrüda zvuči uzbudljivo:)

Go ahead, add some hot pepper, I am too sensitive to spicy stuff. I prefer a mild ajvar.

No, it is easer to peel the peppers later when they are whole.

Yeah I think so too. Peeling, sure, but removing seeds seems much easier before roasting

Ajvar is already cooked after the peppers are roasted and ground. It is served as a spread or condiment, paired with meat, cheese, and pastry.

@ivanalalicki I bought my first jar from Walmart, I didn't want to open it then eat it with out cooking just in case it might get u sick,that's why I asked if you need to cook it first?

@mikeprime5028 no, you don't need to cook it.

@@ivanalalicki ok thanks

@@ivanalalicki do I put it in the fridge after I open it?

Vi ste bili deo stare Srbije, a koliko je vas toliko je i iz danasnje juzne Srbije.

@@BigSaleGolem ako sme za vas stara Srbija togas srpskiot narod ima poteklo od Makedonija. Vie ste cisto Makedonci i trebate da ste ponosni za toa. Makedoncite se bibliski narod!

Who cares

@@anotheryoutuberperson38 me :)

Let’s get things straight….first of all the ONLY Macedonia which exists is Greece and secondly Ajvar is and always was Serbian. It’s sad that people try to steal other countries history but facts are facts

As a half turk, who cares. The country origin obsession is annoying. Just enjoy the food and the similarities of our cultures. Why the caps? Are we SHOUTING?

@@anotheryoutuberperson38 you put it well! People should enjoy making and eating food instead of arguing and being so annoying.

Ajvar is MACEDONIAN

Says who?

It's Macedonian, the best Ajvar is Macedonian @@ivanalalicki

Ne bih rekao, rec paprika je Srpska i ceo svet je koristi.

@@BigSaleGolem sta je srpsko? Paprika??

@@BigSaleGolem proverila sam i zaista je reč paprika srpskog porekla. Taj naš naziv su prihvatili Mađari. Međutim, u engleskom paprika znači mlevena paprika, zbog mađarske mlevene paprike koja je vrlo cenjena. Oni imaju drugu reč za papriku, pepper.
