In this mash, 70 per cent comes from red pepper and 20 per cent from aubergine, the rest being sunflower oil and a pinch of salt. The gentle roasting gives the Aivar its typically smoky, lightly sweet aroma, without artificial additives. It is the mild, heat-free version that also works well as a base for further seasoning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin-top: 2em; margin-bottom: 0.8em;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMild pepper and aubergine mash from the Balkans, without heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith 70 per cent roasted pepper and 20 per cent aubergine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVegetarian, Pelagonia brand, made by Sydney \u0026amp; Frances, Cologne\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs a spread, grill dip and seasoning base for pasta and stews\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWithout artificial additives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin-top: 2em; margin-bottom: 0.8em;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGoes well with\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you like it spicier, reach for the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/hot-aivar\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ehot Aivar\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.
