Green Peppers And Peaches Salad

Total Time: 1 hr 5 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 50 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 1 1/2 kg green peppers
• 150 ml extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 kg large ripe peach (but not overripe)
• 3 tablespoons cumin seeds
• 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• sea salt, to taste
• fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Recipe

• 1 preheat your oven to 180°c/350°f/gas 4.
• 2 wash, core and quarter the green peppers; spread the peppers out on a shallow roasting tray and sprinkle them with half the olive oil and the sugar. season well and ensure that the pieces are well-coated.
• 3 roast in the oven for about 45-60 minutes.
• 4 halfway through the cooking time, you will notice that the edges of some of the peppers have turned brown and acquired a crunchy edge. give them another good mix in, so that they do not burn and stick to the bottom of the pan.
• 5 remove the peppers from the oven and allow them to cool.
• 6 peel and pit the peaches with a sharp knife; slice them into chunky wedges; place them in a large salad bowl and mix them with the cooled green peppers.
• 7 toss the cumin seeds in a dry pan over a medium heat until they start popping. do not let them turn brown as they will taste bitter.
• 8 crush the toasted cumin in a pestle, then mix it with the cayenne pepper and sprinkle the resulting coarse powder over the salad.
• 9 add the remaining olive oil and the lemon juice; stir all the ingredients well, check and - if necessary - adjust the seasoning, then serve.
