Roast the peppers and eggplants, then peel their skins.
Process the vegetables and transfer them to a pot.
Cook with olive oil and vinegar for 45 minutes.
If the ajvar sauce stays too thick, add a few drops of water and whisk again.
Transfer the ajvar sauce to a small bowl and serve once the aroma has settled.
💡 Tip: Peel the pepper skins completely; any remaining skin spoils the texture of the sauce.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with toasted bread, grilled meatballs, or a cheese board.
