Pindjur is a rich and flavorful Balkan relish originating from North Macedonia, made primarily from roasted red peppers, tomatoes, and eggplant. It's a versatile condiment, often enjoyed as a spread, dip, or side dish, with a slightly chunky texture and a delightful balance of sweet and savory notes.
🧂 Ingrédients
- 1 kg Red bell peppers
- 2 large Eggplants
- 1 kg Tomatoes
- 5 cloves Garlic cloves
- 200 ml Sunflower oil
- 2 tbsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
👨🍳 Instructions

Roast the red bell peppers and eggplants until the skins are blistered and charred. Place the roasted peppers in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let them steam for about 15 minutes to make peeling easier. Peel the eggplants and discard the skins.
