About

The grilled green peppers give this a very Romanian flavour. Serve as a meze with a dairy meal or meat meal, or as part of a light lunch.

Ingredients

675 g/1½ lb aubergines (eggplants), halved lengthways
2 green (bell) peppers, seede

Method

Place the aubergines and peppers under a preheated grill (broiler), skin side up, and cook until the skin blisters and chars. Turn the vegetables over and cook for a further 3 minutes. Place in a plastic bag and leave for 10 minutes.
Peel away the blackened skin and purée the aubergine and pepper flesh in a food processor.
