For a smoky flavor, grill the eggplants and bell peppers before chopping and adding them to the pot. Adjust the sugar and vinegar to your taste. If you prefer a tangier flavor, add a little more vinegar. For a sweeter flavor, add a bit more sugar. This appetizer can be stored in sterilized jars for longer preservation. Ensure proper sterilization techniques are followed. Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. Experiment with other vegetables, such as zucchini or carrots, for a unique twist.
