Ingredients

  • 4 green chili peppers (Anaheim)
  • 2 red bell peppers
  • 2 medium eggplants
  • 3 -4 ripe tomatoes
  • 1 purple onion, chopped finely
  • 2 garlic cloves, pressed
  • 1 bunch parsley, chopped finely
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • salt and black pepper, to taste

Method

  • Roast all the peppers and eggplant under broiler, turning so all sides are roasted evenly.
  • When the skins are charred, remove from broiler and allow to cool.
  • Placing them in a paper bag allows them to steam so the skins may be easily removed.
  • Peel, seed and dice the peppers and place in a salad bowl.
  • Peel and dice the eggplant and add to bowl.
  • Add the tomatoes, onion, garlic, parsley, and seasonings.
  • Toss all ingredients well, cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator to chill.
  • This salad can be made 24 hours in advance, and will taste even better when the flavors are allowed to blend.
