Ajvar
Macedonian roasted red-pepper spread with oil and salt.
About Ajvar
Ajvar is a pepper spread associated with Macedonian home cooking and winter provisions. This version follows North Macedonia Timeless’s classic recipe, selecting its explicitly offered red bell peppers.
Roasted red peppers supply sweetness and a toasted depth. Salt sharpens their flavour, while oil gives the simple mixture richness; no chilli heat is asserted for this selected pepper option.
The peppers form a smooth, thick spread after cooking. The source describes jarred ajvar and its place among meze dishes, without specifying its temperature at the table.
