What is Bread with ajvar sauce?
Bread with ajvar sauce pairs toasted or fresh bread with ajvar, a Balkan spread usually made from roasted red peppers and sometimes aubergine. Its gently smoky, sweet-tangy flavour and soft, savoury topping work especially well against crisp toast.
Across the Balkans, it may be served at breakfast, as a snack, or alongside other small dishes; elsewhere, it makes an easy light lunch or starter.
