HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 окт 2021
- It's this time of the year again, time to make Croatia's most beloved relish - ajvar.
Here is my full proof recipe. You'll have your hands full but the homemade ajvar is always the best.
INGREDIENTS:
7 kg bull's horn peppers
3 kg aubergine/eggplant
60 g sea salt
2 tbs black pepper
2 tbs red chilli flakes
300 ml oil (200 ml sunflower + 100 ml olive oil)
40 ml vinegar
12 cloves of garlic
3 tbsp chopped parsley
100-150 ml hot sunflower oil for preserving
A few tips:
✅ Stir all the time
✅ Add oil gradually, at least in 3 goes
✅ Set the timer to 2.5 hours and don't stop stirring before, even if it seems ajvar is done 🙂

Made a smaller batch tonight from peppers, garlic and eggplant we grew in our garden (USA). It is amazing! Thanks for the fun video! I wish I had known about Ajvar earlier in life. I've been missing something ;)
Y'all look so happy! Ayvar looks great!
Bravo !!!
I can confirm it's the same taste like the one i ate in Serbia
awesome! thanks for sharing
I loved this video! Made me smile. Now back to making my first ever batch of Ajvar...
what a great recipe and wonderful, informative and funny video! thank you so much! ❤
I‘ll be making Ajvar today - with regular bell peppers and lots of aubergines… it won‘t be your „original“ Ajvar, but it will be delicious too!
Hugs from Switzerland, Nicole
Nice job ! Congratulation ! 🙏💕💕💕
Hvala!! From the US
You gave me LOTS of inspiration, thankyou, thankyou, and some really good vibes. ♥ i just recently learned all about the nicotene in it, and how GOOD for us this ikind of nicotene is. One benefit is, it kicks out spikey stuff...And I haven't had any in a long time. Forgot how much I've missed it. This year I will try my hand at making some.
I'm gonna make this with My adjvarski peppers next season!!
I loved seeing the FAMILY participation. 🤗
You guys reminded me of my in-laws , thought me all those secrets and I passed to my daughter
What sweet me movies!! Thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks so much for the enjoyable presentation. The charisma you two share together is awesome! Glad to know how to make Ajar now.
May I ask what are other ways you like to eat, and other type of dishes you put it in?
Many Thanks for this amasing recepies!!!

I love watching you guys making loving food
Excellent video! ❤

Bravo tako i ja pravim ajvar najbolji recept nema bolje verujte
I found it for month ago with hot chili, so have to mix with tomato sauce. Also put other vegetables in it. Included potato's, carrots, and cuttet sausage. It's so delicious and tasty that I want to learn make it because it's not so common thing up here in 🇩🇰. Thanks for this clip. I come for a visit. Haha😊
Thank you!!!!
Great video. Greetings from California.
Thank you 💙
We’ve met so many people from Croatia & Serbia that talk about Avajar that we have to make some. Thank you for the recipe, instructions and humor.
You Guys are super lovely! Greetings from Berlin
What is the shelf life of home made ajvar? Does it need to be kept in a fridge? Does it need to be frozen?
👍👍👍👍
Love this! Subscribed because of it. I'm in the middle of driving from Burlington Vermont down to see my mom in Louisiana, and my lunch was a handful of Persian cucumbers dipped straight into a jar of ajvar. Outstanding.
They are similar to the Italian southern peppers
Your Ajvar recipe has the hidden ingredient of looove, so we are trying to copy your method...
yes
Tasters role for me in this
Hi I like your recipe I will try it but I will ask about the parsley does it give special flavour?
Can I put jars with Ajvar to boil to seal them to last longer?
Hi, I have a question about vinegar. How much percentage do you use in this recipe? 5%, 9%...?
Usually in Balkans it's always 9%
Can I pressure can it to preserve it for at least a year if need be?
What did You put after Salt the two seasoning & how long did you cook it?
ground pepper and chilli flakes
Check description. Recipe is there ... 🤓
Thank you very much for letting us know how to taste the foods we cook while cooking. That will be a life changer. Oh and by the way people have been frying food in olive oil since the Roman Empire.
100 times better than ketchup
Are red bell peppers okay if you can find the horn pepper
Yes, tech they are less flavorful, but it will be fine, no worries :]
Can you make it without eggplant? It looks delicious 🤤 but unfortunately we have allergies to eggplant.
You can, but it won't be ajvar. Just red pepper relish, and it won't taste the same or have the same consistency.
Jako bise rejpali v hov... .
"Croatian ajvar" - suddenly Croats take on Turkish words like Serbs did? :)
Hrvatski ajvar kao i Hrvatski rostilj moz zamisliti
Лучьше б на русском рассказала
"olive oil can't be heated up" where did you learn to cook? Olive oil CAN be heated up to temperatures higher then your crappy oil that you used in the beginning. Every time I watch ow to make ayvar I see different recipe. I guess that differs from one to another family.
@@handlenot030That maybe true. Well I dont like when my oil smoke and extra virgin have very low smoke temp. Anyways I use olive oil or some kind of seed oil/olive that dont taste smell and stick. I try to stay away from the regular vegetable oils. They have bad taste, bad smell and theyh seem to thicken up during use. Grape seed oil seem to do a good job even tho many people say it is bad for your health. Well, its neutral in taste. It dont smell. It have very high frying temperature without smoking and making air hard to breathe.
Why so angry? The oil used in the beginning is sunflower oil, not crappy and very popular in the balkans
People this is a horrible excuse for ajvar!!! Please dont judge ajvar based on this video... This is not the real method , this is a very simplified and wrong version to do and their ajvar looks very bad texture wise...
Well, aren't you delightful? I didn't know there was only one way to make it.
#delightfulhuman
@@pugsandcoffeeplease there is 2 ways the right way and the wrong ..
So what’s the correct way to make it?
Please enlighten us then.
@@thomassullivan1207 gotta use the magic sosa
ajvar is macedonian not Croatian
