We continue our look at Bread Spreads, focusing on Ikra (zucchini/bell pepper/eggplant spread). Again, thanks to Elder KM for the suggestion.
To help my fellow central Texans relate, Ikra is a cross between Texas Caviar and Salsa.
This recipe is inspired by the traditional dish Ikra, or “eggplant caviar,” a Russian and Ukrainian staple. Ikra is similar to bruschetta, caponata, or salsa. It’s a sort of relish dish that can be served alone or on crackers, toast, or soft bread. This traditional Slavic recipe is made with fresh zucchini, bell peppers, garlic, carrots, tomatoes, and onion. It’s a wonderful accompaniment to a main course, and it makes a delicious relish to include on a charcuterie plate.
