I first heard of ayver back in 2011 or 2013 when a colleague went on a trip to Macedonia and came back with a bottle of this wonderful red spread for us all ro share.
This evening I had four rather small red peppers and so decided to make this spread.
Original recipes, or rather, many recipes called for eggplant to be mixed but since I didn’t have any I used purely red peppers.
First I roasted them till blackened then removed the skin and seeds. I placed the red pepper meat into a food processor together with lemon juice, olive oil, garlic and salt.
