That tangy-smelling orange mush looks amazing. That would have been a wonderful experience. Thank you for the recipe and am so glad to have found your blog.
Oh my! This sounds delicious! I love how welcoming people can be if only we work up the courage to ask questions. Also, I never knew paprika was made from red peppers! This explains a lot about the difference between Hungarian paprika and our regular paprika here in the States.
I’ve never heard of ajvar, but it sounds delicious, one of those magical concoctions that seem simple, but open up worlds of possibilities. I may attempt a small batch. Thanks for a fascinating post.
Love this! And I love ajvar...I have it before and loved it. I just wish bell peppers weren't so expensive here in Washington State. Maybe I'll try making a smaller batch!
Yeah, that was thing about red peppers in Seattle -- they were crazy expensive. I won't tell you what they cost in Eastern Europe. You might never speak to us again....
This makes we want to look for Ajvars in my local Kroger or Publix. Maybe I’ll find some.
Go for it and good luck!
We just had our first sampling of avar in a lovely restuarant outside Zagreb near the medvadgrad castle. It is delicious!
Wonderful!

I love everything about this - food is such a personal subject for so many people and it is my FAVORITE way to connect with a new location!
Also ..
"And I felt truly shocked when I learned that red and yellow bell peppers are actually just green peppers that have been allowed to fully ripen.
And how about the fact that paprika — the spice — is made from dried red peppers?"
I learned both of these things last year and they still blow my mind.
Smoked paprika is one of my all-time favorite spices and I try to find ways to sneak it into almost everything :D
You know, we rarely season things with paprikia. AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHY WE DON'T! LOL.
I’ll just grab 20 kg of peppers...
Grab me some too, please!
not that much! LOL
