    Roasted Red Pepper and Eggplant Spread (Macedonian Tolcheni)

    "Balkan Caviar" This vegetable spread is a staple in the countries of Macedonia, Bulgaria, Serbia and Croatia although it goes by different names. Our family makes it in large batches during the summer months when the peppers and eggplants are in season and freeze in 8 oz portions to last through the winter. It is used as a condiment or dip and delicious served with Lamb and over rice. Enjoy!
