RE: Do you know what Ajvar is?

in HiveGarden • 6 months ago

My curiosity compelled me to Google it to see what it looks like 🤣 lol
Very interesting! In texture, it looks similar to our Philippine garlic chili sauce, but when it comes to ingredients and the way you prepare it, it's very different. You said that the main ingredient is red pepper, so I'm curious whether it is really spicy or just mild. Adding the roasted eggplant makes it more interesting to me. I actually searched if I could buy some in our local markets, but I found they're only available in international food stores in big cities. Maybe I should try making at home. 😊

It's mild. It's sweet red pepper.
But you can also add some hot pepper to it, it depends on how you like it.
I think any red pepper with thick fleshy walls can be used for ajvar.
Because of the specific preparation.
We tried several types.
Both elephant ear and horn proved to be the best

I see, interesting! I bet it's more of a vegetable based one, while ours is oil based.
