Közlenmiş Biber Salatası
These charred bell peppers provide a deep sweetness that works perfectly with a bright, tangy vinaigrette. It is a staple at my table.
Why This Works
The sweetness of the roasted peppers is perfectly contrasted by the sharpness of the vinegar and the pungency of the garlic.
The Upgrade
Add a tablespoon of capers for a salty, acidic punch that pairs well with the sweet peppers.
Chef's Secret
Michelin TechniqueDon't rinse the peppers after peeling, or you will wash away the delicious smoky flavor—simply wipe off stubborn bits.
