About

This Eastern-European salad recipe from our maternal grandmother contains peppers, onions, tomato and paprika, cooked slowly in a pan until beautifully sweet. It balances the stronger dips and sauces usually found on a mezze platter.

Ingredients

2 tbsp sunflower oil
2 onions, sliced
3 yellow peppers, sliced<

Method

Fry the onions until soft and translucent. Add the peppers and cook for about 3 minutes until they soften. Add the garlic, tomato paste, sugar, salt, pepper and water.

Cook for a further 15–20 minutes on a low heat. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
