Escalivada salad
Spanish 15 Mins Prep · 40 Mins Cook
- Preheat the oven to 220°C, gas mark 7, or preheat a grill or prepare a barbecue. Line a baking tray with foil or parchment.
- Place the whole capsicums, aubergine, padron peppers and cherry tomatoes on the prepared tray or straight on the barbecue grid. Roast for 35-40 minutes, turning occasionally, until everything is soft, blistered and slightly charred. You want the skins of the capsicums and aubergine to be blackened in spots.
- Once roasted, place the hot capsicums and aubergine in a bowl and cover with a plate or cling film. Allow to steam for 10-15 minutes to loosen the skins. Then, peel and discard the skins and seeds. Cut the capsicums into large strips and slice the aubergine thickly.
- On a large platter, arrange the strips of roasted capsicums, aubergine, tomatoes and padron peppers in separate sections according to their colours.
- Drizzle generously with olive oil and a touch of red grape vinegar and season before serving.
