👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
💡 Consigli Professionali: A hot oven is key for achieving the smoky flavor. - 2
Place the eggplants, bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, and whole garlic heads on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Ensure vegetables are spread in a single layer for even roasting. - 3
Roast for 45-60 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred. The garlic heads should be soft and fragrant.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Turn the vegetables halfway through cooking for even charring. - 4
Remove the vegetables from the oven and let them cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, peel the peppers and eggplants. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins.
- 5
Tear the roasted peppers and eggplants into bite-sized strips. Roughly chop the roasted tomatoes and onions. Mash the roasted garlic cloves into a paste.
💡 Consigli Professionali: The texture should be rustic, not finely chopped. - 6
In a bowl, combine the torn peppers and eggplants, chopped tomatoes and onions, and mashed garlic. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. - 7
Toss gently to combine all the ingredients. Serve warm or at room temperature.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Escalivada is excellent served with crusty bread, as a side dish, or as a topping for bruschetta.
