Sweet Potato + 
Bell Pepper Ajvar.


Ingredients for 1 serving

1-2
Sweet Potato (depending on the size)

1
Red Bell Pepper

0,4 cm
Fresh Ginger*

2–3 leaf
Sage*

1 tbsp
Sesame oil

little
Rock salt

2 dl
Water

1-2 tbsp
Tahina, white

  1. Wash and trim both vegetables and cut them into medium-sized pieces. Slice the ginger and add everything to the pressure cooker with a little sesame oil. Fry over low heat until golden brown (do not close the lid yet).

  2. As they get a nice roasted aroma without getting burnt, add the water and salt. Close the lid and steam for 10 min.

  3. Meanwhile, prepare buckwheat flatbread or buckwheat crêpes for dipping, if desired. Don’t miss sprinkling them with salt, sesame, sage, or black cumin.

  4. Now open the pressure cooker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

  5. If there's still a lot of water, let it simmer a little longer until it dissolves. Then add everything to a blender. Blend at low to medium speed until it reaches a smooth, but not too soupy, consistency. Stir in the tahini.

  6. Serve on a beautiful plate and garnish with tahini, black cumin oil, salt, and toasted black or white sesame seeds. Ready to eat.

How
to

I was craving the ajvar in Mallow London's Instagram picture and exchanged almonds with sesame/tahina. Sadly not located around the corner.

* Leave aside ginger/sage, if you get symptoms or if it is too spicy for you.
