aivar is ground up peppers mixed with garlic and olive oil and spread on
bread. You can also add ground-up eggplant and tomatoes and salt. The
peppers need to be sweet red ones (usually the flat type, they are easier to
roast and deseed and peel). You can eat them just as salad with garlic and
olive oil too. In Macedonia in Sept everyone is out roasting them in large
flat round metal pans over an open fire, then they deseed, peel, and pickle
in jars in vinegar for the winter. You can buy them in jars at our local
dollar store, and aivar from Mediterranean stores (Yugoslav or Turkish or
Hungarian - sometimes hot).
