Ingredients

  • 2 red peppers
  • 1 large eggplant (approx. 350 g)
  • 2 medium onions
  • 3 tbsp olive oil for roasting
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil for serving
  • 1 tbsp sherry vinegar or mild wine vinegar
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 220 °C top/bottom heat. Wash the peppers, eggplant and unpeeled onions, pat dry and rub with a little olive oil.
  2. Place vegetables on a tray and roast for 40-50 minutes; Turn the peppers and eggplant occasionally. The pepper skin should turn black and the eggplant should become soft.
  3. Place vegetables in a bowl and cover and evaporate for 15-20 minutes. Peel the peppers and eggplant; Peel onions.
  4. Tear the pulp into long strips, mix carefully with finely grated garlic, oil, vinegar, salt and pepper.
  5. Arrange on a flat plate, preferably with bread. Do not pour excess liquid on when serving.

Tips

  • Escalivada only gets real roasted aromas with strong heat and slightly blackened skin.
  • Sherry vinegar is suitable in terms of taste, but not necessarily; mild white wine vinegar is sufficient.
