Roasted peppers and onion halves together create a tense airstrike on your plate.
Long, roasted green peppers and red pointed peppers are arranged like rockets on a plate, aiming at two grilled onion and lemon halves. The dish visually echoes the tense airstrikes, referencing the news about temporary ceasefire and missile attacks between Moscow and Kyiv.
Ingredients
- 4 red pointed peppers
- 4 green (mild) peppers
- 2 large onions
- 1 lemon
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp coarse sea salt
- 1 tsp sumac (or lemon zest)
- 1 tsp black pepper
Method
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (grill setting).
- Cut the onions in half horizontally and place cut side up on a baking tray.
- Cut the lemon in half.
- Brush onions and lemon halves with 1 tbsp olive oil, sprinkle with sumac and some sea salt.
- Place the red pointed peppers and green peppers whole next to the onions on the tray.
- Brush the peppers with the remaining oil and sprinkle with black pepper and sea salt.
- Roast everything for 25 minutes until the vegetables are dark and slightly charred.
- On a large flat plate, place a half onion and a half lemon on the left as 'landing sites'.
