Ajvar

Ajvar is a super yummy spread that is made from red peppers, which are a type of vegetable that grows in gardens. In order to make ajvar, the peppers are roasted until they become very soft and are then mixed with olive oil, garlic, and sometimes even eggplant.

When everything is mixed together, it becomes a spread that can go on sandwiches, crackers, or be used as a dip for veggies. Some people describe the taste of ajvar as halfway between tomato sauce and salsa, which makes it super delicious!

Ajvar is a traditional food from the Balkan region, where people have been making and eating it for a very long time. In fact, it's so popular that people have started to make their own versions of ajvar all over the world. But no matter where you make it, ajvar is always a crowd-pleaser and a fun way to explore new flavors in your food.
