Keto Roasted Red Pepper Sauce – Croatian Ajvar

Servings: 6

INGREDIENTS

400 g (2 large) red peppers / capsicum

200 g (1) eggplant

66 g (1/3 cup) of olive oil

14 g (3 tbsp) garlic, grated or 1 tsp of garlic powder

5 g (1 tsp) white wine vinegar

3 g (1/2 tsp) salt

1 g (1/2 tsp) black pepper

DIRECTIONS

1. Cut the red bell peppers into half, remove top and seeds, place the cut side down on a parchment lined baking sheet
2. Cut the eggplant in half, place cut side down beside the red bell peppers
3. Bake in at 190 C or 375 F in the middle position of the oven, until skin is lightly browned as in the video and the bell peppers feel soft
4. When vegetables are done, let them cool until you can handle them comfortably. Peel the skin off the red bell peppers and place the peppers into a blender. Use a spoon to scrape out the eggplant meat, scraping as much near the skin as possible. Place into the blender
5. Add the olive oil, grated garlic or garlic powder, white wine vinegar, salt and pepper
6. Blend until the sauce is very creamy, about 4-5 minutes
7. Store in a mason jar or other glass sealable container. The sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Enjoy!

MACRONUTRIENTS CHART

FYI

One complete batch, as per ingredient quantities above, will yield 425 g or approximately 15 oz of sauce. I consider one serving to be 75g or 2.6 oz.

You can use this sauce for many other purposes such as a veggie platter dip, nacho chip dip and as a delicious sauce with zoodles or spaghetti squash.
