Ajvar

Ajvar is a Balkan-style condiment made from roasted red peppers (often with eggplant), oil and seasonings, commonly served as a spread, dip or side dish. It is relatively calorie-dense for a vegetable-based spread and provides 9g of fat per 100g, coming mostly from added oil; it also supplies vitamin C and vitamin K from the peppers. While not a significant source of protein, Ajvar can be quite filling for the portion sizes people use and offers some antioxidant carotenoids from the roasted peppers; watch portion size for added oil and its modest salt content.
