Bereidingswijze

1. Prick the eggplants¹ and peppers with a fork, place on a baking sheet, and roast at 200 °C for 35 minutes, turning once.

2. Put the hot vegetables under a lid for 10 minutes, then peel them and remove the seeds from the peppers. Finely chop the flesh with a knife.

3. Dice the onion⁴ and sauté in oil for 5 minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes³ and simmer for 10 minutes.

4. Add the eggplant¹, peppers, minced garlic⁵, sugar, and salt to the skillet, and simmer for 15 minutes. Pour in the vinegar and heat for 1 minute.

5. Sterilize a 0,5 l jar over steam for 10 minutes, and boil the lid for 5 minutes.

6. Spoon the hot spread into the jar up to the rim, cover with the lid, and sterilize in a pot of hot water for 15 minutes from the moment it comes to a boil. Seal immediately.

7. Turn the jar upside down and wrap until cool. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 12 months, and keep an opened jar in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
