Ajvar oven stew (đuveč) is a true example of how just a few spoons of ajvar transform one ordinary dish into a feast for all the senses. If you have not done so as of yet, we highly recommend you try the famous ajvar-spiced baked beans for complete gourmet enjoyment! This dish, though lean, delights both the palate and the soul and is extremely hearty, as an appetizer, hors d'ouvre or as a main course. If you are fond of pizza or any other kind of dough, you will be nuts about pide. Pide, or Turkish version of pizza, is a soft dough filled with various stuffings. For this occassion, we have chosen a juicy combination of chopped beef and ajvar. The secret of the best ajvar lies in the superior quality of peppers and long simmering on steady flame, but we prefer to say that the key to the best dish is a couple of tablespoons of ajvar. So we invite you to try our variation of this adored classic of home-cooked meal ─ stuffed blue eggplant. Delicious and flavorful stuffed peppers with quinoa and ajvar after the first bite already have become one of our favorite variants of this famous dish, which we heartily recommend you to try. The juicy stuffed peppers seasoned with ajvar baked in the oven call for just a slice of some good bread to dip in a thick tomato sauce or aromatic fillet. The soft aromatic mackerel meat cooked with fresh spices and our spicy ajvar is somewhat piquant and irresistibly delicious. And for a complete gourmet experience, we recommend it with a refreshing cold seasonal vegetable salsa salad. A piece of fine marinated meat, a piece of good, bright-color vegetable, make our cheerful looking kebabs a perfect summer lunch or central dish in an outdoor party. Even more so if you dip them into a real homemade ajvar and wrap them in a warm scone! True pleasure for all lovers of good taste! Grill and ajvar are unsurpassed classics, and our irresistible juicy lamb kebabs flavored with red wine, rosemary and sage, are a gourmand dish, of which everyone wants another serving. Therefore, make them in sufficient quantity for your whole company and give in to delicious tastes.

The slightly nutty quinoa taste combined with the home-made ajvar and the thick sauce in which we simmered our peppers gave a whole wealth of flavors to our stuffed peppers. Even easier to prepare than rice, quinoa is also an extremely healthy foodstuff, protein-rich and high in nutritional value, so it fits perfectly into our recipe, which is good for the whole body and soul.
