Recipe for Pepper Caviar

Grilling Peppers Preheat your grill (or oven). Wash the red peppers thoroughly and place them on the grill. Close the lid and let them grill for 20 minutes, turning them every 5 minutes for even cooking. Once the peppers are grilled, place them on a plate and cover them immediately with plastic wrap: this will make peeling easier.

Preparation of the sauce In a large bowl, finely grate the peeled garlic cloves. Add the thyme, red wine vinegar (or sherry vinegar), olive oil, a pinch of fine gray salt, and some pepper. Mix well to obtain a homogeneous marinade.

Assembly of the caviar Peel the cooled peppers, remove the seeds, and chop them finely. Incorporate the chopped peppers into the prepared marinade and mix thoroughly. Place the mixture in the refrigerator for about 2 hours to allow the flavors to develop.

Serve the pepper caviar chilled on slices of toasted bread as a tapa.
