Mediterranean Context
In Mediterranean cuisine, roasting is transformation.
Red peppers, when exposed to open flame or high heat, release natural sugars and develop depth. Once peeled and dressed with olive oil, they become a staple meze, served cold and shared.
This process is simple, but it requires attention. Timing matters.
The Character of Roasted Red Peppers
Naturally Sweet and Soft
Roasting intensifies sweetness while softening texture.
Gentle Smoky Notes
Fire adds aroma without bitterness.
Traditional Preparation Approach
Fire Roasting
Peppers are roasted to blister the skin and enhance flavor.
Careful Peeling
Skins are removed to reveal tender flesh.
