A few weeks ago, I pledged my allegiance to this…
It actually has a special name! Ajvar! It’s a popular Serbian relish. I did not know this. All I knew is that it’s flipping delicious, and I was determined to make it myself. So I did!
Light, easy, and great as a spread or dip. If you could jar proof that health does not sacrifice flavor, this is it.
Ajvar Spread
2 red peppers
1 eggplant
2 cloves garlic
4 tablespoons vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
juice of half lemon
½ tsp red pepper flakes
pinch of stevia or 1 tsp sugar
Roast the eggplant and peppers in the oven at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes, until soft to touch and the skin is loose. Let cool for 5 minutes, and then careful remove the skin and seeds with the help of a knife.
Put the “meat” of the veggies in a food processor or blender with the rest of the ingredients, and puree until smooth.
Ooh, I have that same exact spread in my fridge after my trip to NYC in January and still haven’t made anything with it. Time to get crackin’ and get it in my belly!
Where did you get the beautiful lilies of the valley plate?
It’s actually a cake stand! I’m not sure where it’s from.. it was just lying around the house!
