Ingredients
- 6 green, red or yellow bell peppers
- 4 red tomatoes
- An orange chili
- thyme leaves
- three cloves of garlic
- A large cup of olive oil
- White wine vinegar
- Salt to taste
Preparation
Step 1. Confit
The first thing you should do is pour the olive oil into a skillet or pot over medium heat. Then, add the garlic cloves there so that they can be confited gently, for about 20 minutes.
Step 2. Roast and fix the peppers
Turn on a burner on your stove over medium-high heat and put the peppers directly there, so that their shells burn a little and they release all their flavor. Perform the same action with the tomatoes and the orange chili. Turn each of them over when you see them turning black. Remove them from the heat when they look very dark and place them in a bowl. Once they cool down, wet them to be able to remove everything burned more easily. Open your peppers and chili, removing the seeds that are inside. Finally, chop all the peppers into very fine sticks, the tomatoes into very small slices and the chili into small pieces.
Step 3. Mix
Take the oil you had with the garlic cloves, add several thyme leaves, a splash of white wine vinegar, salt to taste and mix all these ingredients a bit.
Step 4. Reserve
Take all the pieces of paprika, tomatoes and chili that you chopped and put them in a glass container (that has a lid). Finally, add the oil mixture you made in the previous step there. Cover the container and reserve it at least 24 hours before eating. You can consume this antipasto without any problem for 10 days.
