Eggplant with Peppers – Grandma’s Recipe! So delicious that you won’t be able to live without them!
A bit of history and tradition
This recipe originated in many inland cuisines, but it also has similarities to typical Mediterranean preserves, such as those from Italy or the Balkans. Grandmothers would make it in late summer, when the gardens were producing their last harvests of peppers and eggplants, and it was common to prepare several to get through the winter.
It’s not just a recipe: it’s a way to reconnect with our roots, to share and take care of others. In many homes, this family tradition is still repeated every year.
