Roasting and peeling peppers over an open flame is a ritual of Turkish summer kitchens, but it is slow and messy. Burcu's roasted red peppers come in a 560 g glass jar already roasted, so you get the sweet, smoky character of közlenmiş biber at any time of year.
Tear the peppers into strips and dress them with olive oil, crushed garlic, a little vinegar or lemon and parsley for a classic cold meze. They are also lovely folded into salads, layered in sandwiches with cheese, blended into dips and sauces, or added to pasta and pizza at the end of cooking. Serve alongside grilled meat or fish as a colourful side.
Keep the unopened jar in a cool, dry place. After opening, cover the remaining peppers with their liquid, refrigerate and use within a few days. Please read the label on your jar for the full ingredient and allergen information.
