Roasted peppers are a delicious, flavorful appetizers that’s easy enough to prepare.
Ingredients:
- Bell pepper – 1.8-2 kg. (1 kg already baked and peeled peppers)
- Garlic – 3 cloves
- Vegetable oil
- Vinegar – 2 tbsp
- Sugar – 1 tsp
- Black peppercorns – 5 pcs.
- Salt – 15 gr.
- Smoked paprika – 1 tsp
- Glass jars
Cooking process
1 Put the peppers on a baking sheet lined with foil. Bake them in an oven preheated to 200 C (395 F) degrees for 40 minutes.
Transfer the baked peppers into a deep dish and cover it with a lid or cling film. Leave them to stand for 15 minutes. We do this in order to make it easier to remove the skin from them.
2 Peel the peppers from the skins and seeds, after draining their own juice into a bowl, which was released during baking. Cut them into long strips.
3 Peel and chop the garlic. We put it in a preheated pan with vegetable oil. Fry for a few minutes on small gas.
4 Add chopped peppers and pepper juice to the garlic. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes.
Add salt, sugar, peppercorns and smoked paprika to the pan. Stir, bring to a boil and turn off the gas. At the end, add vinegar and mix well again.
If you cook the peppers on one go, or will only store them for a few days, then you don’t need to add vinegar.
5 Put the peppers in pre-sterilized jars. Tightly tighten the lids and leave upside down at room temperature until morning.
The roasted peppers in this recipe are a great snack on their own. But they can also be added to many dishes. One of these delicious dishes is bruschetta with cream cheese and peppers https://takajaeda.com/en/recipes-en/bruschetta-with-cream-cheese-and-roasted-peppers/
