Ayvar recipe

[Guest guest]

K, here is the recipe for Ayvar [pronounced Eye-var]. The recipe is

from Yugoslavia and I found it in a mediterranean [spelling?]

cookbook.

 

I dislike it but my girlfriend and father both enjoy it.

 

Ayvar

 

One red bell pepper

one medium eggplant

1/3 cup olive oil

1 tablespoon ground cumin

1 tsp lemon juice

1 tsp basil

 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and

put the veggies on the foil. PRICK THE EGGPLANT SO IT WON'T

EXPLODE

Bake veggies one hour. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Remove

stems but not seeds.

Put oil in food processor and add veggies. Process until there is a

rough puree, adding more oil if necessary. Add remaining ingredients

and blend well.

Can be served on endive leaves or pita bread.
