Homemade Ajvar Recipe – A Rich and Flavorful Roasted Pepper Spread

Homemade ajvar is a traditional Balkan spread prepared with roasted red peppers, eggplant, garlic, and a few simple seasonings. Its deep roasted flavor and creamy texture make it delicious with bread, grilled dishes, roasted vegetables, sandwiches, and cheese.
