Ajvar

Ingredients
2 large eggplant
250 gr red bell pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil

Bake the eggplant and the bell peppers in an preheated oven on 250 grades Celsius until the skins are forming blisters. Take the eggplant and the bell peppers from the oven and remove the skins when they are still warm. Remove the seeds from the bell peppers.
Use a blender to make a paste from the eggplant and the bell pepper, add garlic and vinegar and bring the mixture to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in the olive oil little by little till the mixture has become smooth.

You can use ajvar as a side dish (salad), then put some fresh cut parsley on top. It�s also nice to put on bread, as a sandwich spread with some lettuce, cucumber, tomato, cheese, ham, etc. I use it also in sauces for pasta and a little of it makes my chili con carne taste special
