Roasted peppers with fresh tomatoes
Here is something tasty, summery, light and fresh. You can consume it both cold and warm. I eat slightly chilled. It has a shocking / if I can use that word at all / fresh taste.
One of the rules in the kitchen that I follow is to always or almost always use fresh products or spices as much as the season allows. The exceptions are milk-based creams, where I often resort to ready-made mixtures and finalize them with one of my whims.
Like any dish, this is my favorite. I do not hide my weakness for vegetable dishes and that is why I prepare them with great desire and appetite.
Necessary products for 3 servings:
2 medium sized tomatoes
mint stalks to taste
1 clove garlic
salt and sugar
Method of preparation:
Grate / or use a blender, having previously peeled them from the skins / tomatoes on a grater and put them on the stove.
The duration of cooking is until the liquid boils from them and they remain in a thick tomato sauce.
Shortly before removing it from the stove, season with salt to taste and 1 equal teaspoon of sugar.
Here’s what it looks like after the water evaporates from the tomatoes:
Since I grated the tomatoes on a large grater (and I could use the blender) and I did not get the desired creamy sauce, I resorted to the help of a blender, which reached my cherished goal – a delicate creamy texture with a hint of garlic and a slight unobtrusive aroma of mint. Since the green spice has a strong aroma, it is good to be careful how much you put from it.
Before you start mashing, add garlic and mint. The other thing I will advise you is to use a deep bowl when mashing, because the tomatoes are sprayed enough and it doesn’t work like mine – it’s like I’m out of a horror movie and I’m the main protagonist.
The result is an incredibly fresh tomato sauce, which I recommend with both hands.
As for the peppers, I took 5 medium-sized ones and baked them in the oven at 200 degrees, then left them in a pan with a lid to stew. This makes them easier to peel.
After peeling them, I added them to the tomato sauce and set aside for about 30 minutes to “exchange” the aromas.
Enjoy your meal.
