A little cooking know-how
Three tips to get you started. Each recipe gives its precise quantities, cooking times and variations.
Mild and hot varieties differ considerably. Some contain aubergine, others mainly peppers.
Gently cooked onions taste milder than quickly seared ones. Choose according to the preparation.
A short rest out of the oven makes many bakes easier to portion. Follow the instructions.
