| Getting ready for grill! |
I'd always wanted to make my own grilled peppers. Before I got pregnant, we used to have salads every night and I'd often think of how great it would be if I had some grilled peppers to throw in my salad. However, I was never able to bring myself to buy those in the supermarkets because they are soooo overpriced!
I knew they were easy to make but I guess laziness got the better of me till recently. I've been making my own grilled peppers since this first attempt and never looked back! This version comes steeped in a balsamic vinaigrette mixture which is why I love it so much. The bite from the balsamic vinegar and garlic dressing really complements the sweetness of the peppers and I just can't get enough!
*On hindsight I should not have chosen the green pepper, it didn't have much juice in it and ended up just being super dry and not fun to peel at all.
How To Make Your Own Grilled Peppers
 |
| Keep these in the fridge and they are ready to serve whenever you want them! |
1. Grill peppers in oven at 250 deg C for about 30mins or
until skin is black and charred
2. Place peppers in a bowl and clingwrap it, wait till it is
cool enough to handle with your hands
3. Carefully peel back all the blackened skin and discard
4. Chop them up whichever way you like it, I did mine
lengthwise
5. Prepare equal parts mixture of balsamic vinegar and
olive oil (or according to your own taste). I used
approximately 5 tablespoons of each, that was roughly
enough for me to fill up my glass bottle after adding
the peppers in.
6. Add salt to taste and chop up about 1-2 cloves of
garlic, throw them into the mixture
7. Toss peppers in mixture, making sure they are well
coated
8. Pop everything into a glass container and keep
refrigerated.
