INGREDIENTE (pentru 4 portii)

• 4 ardei grasi rosii
• 2 catei de usturoi
• 2 linguri ulei de masline
• 1 lingura otet de mere
• 3 linguri otet balsamic
• 1 lingurita zahar
• 1 lingurita sare

Pentru inceput, spalam bine ardeii si ii pregatim pentru copt. Ii putem coace pe gratar, in cuptor sau in air fryer, in functie de preferinte. Important este sa ii intoarcem pe toate partile, pana cand coaja devine usor arsa si se desprinde usor, iar pulpa devine moale si aromata.

Dupa ce sunt copti, scoatem ardeii intr-un bol si ii presaram cu putina sare. Acoperim bolul cu un capac sau o farfurie si ii lasam sa stea aproximativ 15-20 de minute. Acest pas este esential, pentru ca ajuta la decojirea lor mult mai usoara.

Strangem zeama lasata de ardei intr-un bol curat, deoarece aceasta este plina de gust si va deveni baza dressingului. Curatam apoi ardeii de coaja si de seminte, fara graba, pentru a pastra textura frageda. Ii taiem fasii si ii adaugam inapoi in zeama lor.

Adaugam usturoiul zdrobit, otetul de mere, otetul balsamic, uleiul de masline, zaharul si sarea. Amestecam usor, astfel incat toate aromele sa se combine armonios. Dressingul trebuie sa fie echilibrat, usor dulceag, acrisor si foarte aromat.

Lasam salata sa ajunga la temperatura camerei, apoi o dam la rece pentru cateva ore. Acesta este momentul in care magia se intampla cu adevarat: ardeii absorb toate aromele si devin si mai gustosi.

Roasted Pepper Salad

There are recipes that simply don’t need complicated introductions. Roasted pepper salad is one of those simple dishes that always manages to bring to the table the authentic, clean, and rich flavor of vegetables. It’s the kind of dish that makes you wonder how something so simple can be so good. This recipe is a favorite for many, and not by chance. Roasted peppers develop a natural sweetness and a slightly smoky aroma, which pairs perfectly with garlic, vinegar, and olive oil. It is an easy, vegan, diet-friendly, and extremely tasty recipe, ideal both as a side dish and as an appetizer. In addition, it is one of those dishes that become even better after a few hours, when the flavors have time to blend together.

INGREDIENTS (for 4 servings)

• 4 red bell peppers
• 2 garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt

To begin, wash the peppers well and prepare them for roasting. You can roast them on a grill, in the oven, or in an air fryer, depending on your preference. The important thing is to turn them on all sides until the skin becomes slightly charred and peels off easily, while the flesh becomes soft and flavorful.

After they are roasted, place the peppers in a bowl and sprinkle them with a little salt. Cover the bowl with a lid or a plate and let them sit for about 15–20 minutes. This step is essential, as it helps with peeling them much more easily.

Collect the juice released by the peppers in a clean bowl, as it is full of flavor and will become the base of the dressing. Then peel the peppers and remove the seeds carefully, so as to preserve their tender texture. Cut them into strips and add them back into their juice.

Add the crushed garlic, apple cider vinegar, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, sugar, and salt. Mix gently so that all the flavors combine harmoniously. The dressing should be well balanced, slightly sweet, tangy, and very aromatic.

Let the salad reach room temperature, then refrigerate it for a few hours. This is when the magic truly happens: the peppers absorb all the flavors and become even more delicious.
