Ajvar (pronounced:/ˈaɪvɑːr/; Cyrillic script: Ajвар, Aйвар) is a condiment made principally from sweet bell peppers and eggplants.[1] The relish became a popular side dish throughout Yugoslavia after World War II and remains popular in Southeast Europe.
Homemade ajvar is made of roasted peppers.[2] Depending on the capsaicin content in bell peppers and the amount of added chili peppers, it can be sweet (traditional), piquant (the most common), or very hot. Ajvar can be consumed as a bread spread or as a side dish. Ajvar has a few variations. One variation contains tomato and eggplant, and another green bell peppers and oregano.
