| Ajvar |
| BorisVM |
Ajvar is popular appetizer or side dish made of roasted paprika, ripe tomatoes, and even string beans can be combined into ajvar. Ajvar is a seasonal dish in Macedonia, always made in late summer and early autumn, just after the paprika harvest, when many households also can or bottle their own ajvar for use throughout the winter season.
8-12 fresh red paprika (mild or medium-hot, to taste)
4 medium-size eggplants
1/2 to 3/4 cup olive oil
1 large onion, minced
3 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice (or 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar)
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Roast the paprika and eggplants over charcoal or a gas flame, or bake them in a preheated 475 F oven, until the skin is blistered and darkened. Place the roasted vegetables in a paper bag and let them steam in their own heat for 10 minutes. Peel off and discard the burnt skin along with the steams and seeds. Mash the peppers and eggplant pulp together to form a slightly chunky mass. You can do this with a fork or in a food processor.
Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet and saute the onion until very soft. Add garlic and cook for 2 more minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the pepper-eggplant pulp, mixing well. Slowly drizzle the remaining oil into the mixture, stirring constantly to incorporate all of the oil. Add lemon juice or vinegar, and salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with parsley.
Serve as an appetizer to spread on thick slices of country-style white bread or flat pita bread with chunks of feta cheese, or use as a side dish to accompany grilled or roasted meats.
Yield: 6 to 8 servings, as an appetizer or side dish.

What is truely a Macedonian food? I have always wondered that, I know people will say peppers, ajvar, graf, etc but that is a balkan thing, what would be truly considered a Macedonian food? Is there one or is it all regional(balkan)?
I also have another question, who actually eats mushmuli? I can't bring myself to eat one, I just don't have it in me to eat rotten fruit. If you don't know what mushmuli are ask some one else to explain it to you, cause I have no idea what they are called in english. If someone knows I would like to hear the word in english.
O'CANADA

Boris, I thought Javar only had peppers in it, the stuff you are describing I believe has a different name, I think it is pinjur, but I may be wrong since I don't eat javar that much. I don't like peppers But maybe it is a regional thing, different recipes for basically the same thing if I am wrong I am sure the members will let me know,

Can Ajvar e so crveni piperki ... a Pindzur e so crveni i zeleni piperki i patlidzani i modri patlidzani (ako znaesh sho se toa modri patlidzani)
|
| Canmak |
Whitebaby, Ne znam sho se "modri patlidzani", so please let me know what they are. I am guessing eggplant, but I always thought they where called srni patlidzani.
