Ikra / Eggplant Caviar

Ikra was always a delicious staple in my house growing up.  It is also known as “eggplant caviar” for it’s delicious texture.  It can be used as a cold spread or as a sauce on protein or with additional vegetables.  The applications are endless!

1 large red or yellow bell pepper

10 grams minced garlic

3 grams fine pink or sea salt
