This could be called a glass jars recycling operation, but that's unintentional recycling as the jars are being reused to store a very common type of food in Eastern Europe and Balkan countries, zacusca, which is a vegetable spread made in many combinations, but the most common one would be made of roasted eggplant and peppers with added onions, tomatoes, carrots, sometimes mushrooms, and in some parts even with fish.

Yum!!!👍🤗
That sounds really delicious, my friend!
Maybe I’m just extra hungry early in the morning it’s barely 8:00 AM!😇🤣

Kind of reminds me of salsa. It looks like it could be very tasty!

If done well it's really tasty, that "smoky" taste from grilling the peppers and eggplant is just yummy.

I love that kind of thing! Smoke from grilling is the best!

yeah! what a huge batch!! congrats! :)
good to know about your variations too..
ours is called Liutenitsa ... similar to Ayvar :)

btw 'zacusca' in our language means breakfast :)

I knew about Ayvar but not Liutenitsa, I guess they're not too different, just slight variations depending on what veggies do you use.
Now this is a funny one, закуска, probably people were eating it mainly in the mornings at some point, anyways we share so many words, I watched some bulgarian movie/tv series and could hear a lot of similar sounding expressions.

Oh really? which series?

Traditional liutenitsa is with roasted eggplants & peppers (prefferably on fire) and then cooked with tomato sauce, oil, salt, sugar... slowly on fire again...
It was kind of a ritual when we we kids to sit around and taste it first on a big chunck of bread :D
Then the variations go wide again.. with adding carrots, different spices and on of my grannies even put apples for making it sweeter, instead of adding sugar :)

roasted eggplants & peppers (preferably on fire) and then cooked with tomato sauce, oil, salt, sugar... slowly on fire again

  • that's the recipe that I was used to growing up, except the sugar, usually the peppers would be sweet enough.

The TV series is called Undercover/Pod prikritie, at some point I ran out of anything good to watch and I came upon this one, managed to watch the first 4 seasons with breaks in-between.

If you ever plan to watch any romanian series, there's only 2 that I can recommend: Umbre and Spy/Master

It is true ..for the peppers!

Ok for the series...

Can you recommend a better bulgarian series?

I'm actually not much into series...
rarely watch any movies

So how do you pass the time when you're bored with nothing to do?
