The best recipes for ajvar! TOP 7 recipes from our website. Ajvar or hajvar is a special type of salad, a specialty of Balkan cuisine, made from red pepper.
Ajvar is originally from Serbia, so it is also called "Serbian salad" or "Serbian vegetable caviar". It is used as an addition to many dishes, and most often as a bread spread. Blue eggplant is most often added to paprika. Salad made from pure blue eggplant is called pinđur, so both terms are used interchangeably for their mixture.
Ajvar is traditionally made in the fall, when peppers are in full season, and used all year round. Ajvar is made from hot and sweet peppers. It is prepared by hand in open pans on a wood stove. Before preparing ajvar, the peppers are roasted, carefully peeled, drained and ground. Peppers are roasted on the stove, on the stove, on the grill (barbecue) or on the so-called "drummer".
Before serving, a little finely chopped, salted garlic is usually added. The name comes from the Turkish word havyar, meaning "salted/salted roe", and shares an etymology with caviar.
The name ajvar comes from the Turkish word haviar, which means "salted roe, caviar" and comes from the Persian word "kaviiar". Before the 20th century, significant local caviar production took place on the Danube, and sturgeon swam from the Black Sea to Belgrade. Domestic ajvar, meaning "caviar", was a very popular dish in Belgrade homes and restaurants,[8] but domestic caviar production was not stable, beginning in the 1890s, due to labor disputes. Finally, a special pepper salad was offered as a substitute in Belgrade restaurants under the name "red ajvar" or "Serbian ajvar". Source WIKIPEDIA.
