Oriental Roasted Red Peppers Salad

Roasted peppers are popular all around the world,
but this recipe contains the special Middle Eastern flavor,
which makes it one of my favorite Middle Eastern salads


Ingredients:
 
  4 large red peppers  
  1 Tbsp. sea-salt
  ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  4 cloves garlic, sliced
  2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
 
Directions:

  1. Roast the peppers on a metal grid on the gas range.
     Turn the peppers from time to time until the peel is
     roasted on all sides.

  2. Take the peppers out, put them in a bowl, spread sea
      salt on them, and cover the bowl. This makes the peppers
      sweat so that it is easier to peel them.

  3. After the peppers cool off a bit, peel them by hand
      (washing them with water will ruin their special smoky taste).

  4. Take out the seeds and cut each pepper into 4 slices.

  5. Heat the olive oil and garlic in a pan. When the oil is hot, add the peppers,
      mix everything together and take it off the gas.

  6. Add the vinegar and refrigerate the roasted red peppers for 2 hours.
