Any Macedonian will agree with me that these six
vegetables - eggplants, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, onions and garlic are the
real Macedonian benchmark and they are one of the best in the world. That's why
Macedonians add these (except the cucumbers) in almost every dish that they
prepare, because they give excellent taste to every dish. We use them fresh,
baked, fried, preserved, frozen, you name it!
This is a recipe that is mixed exactly with this
vegetables. You can eat this dish as a spread, as an appetizer, as side dish, together
with cheese and bread or as an addition to the main dish.
Ingredients:
·
3 eggplants
·
2 larger tomatoes
·
5-6 red or green peppers (I prefer red if
available)
·
1 head onions
·
5-6 cloves garlic
·
salt to taste
·
1 to 2 tablespoons hot oil
Preparation:
First you must wash and clean from seeds eggplants
and peppers and bake on a hotplate (or in oven at 400°F (200°C)) till softened.
After baking, you need to put in a plastic bag and leave to cool down, then
peel.
Then put tomatoes shortly in a boiling water, and
immediately put in cold water and peel.
Now clean onions and garlic.
After that put eggplants, tomatoes, peppers, onions,
and also garlic in a blender, add salt and blend until you get the required
roughness. If you prefer a little rougher structure, then you need to blend
just a bit.
Now place mixture in a deep plate or an earthenware
and then pour over the hot oil.
Finally leave to cool then you can serve.
