Roasted Red Pepper, Aubergine and Onion Salad (Escalivada)

1. 1

   Line the oven tray with kitchen paper and roast the peppers, onion and aubergines in the oven for an hour and twenty minutes at 180 degrees C/350F turning them round halfway through.

2. 2

   Turn the oven off and leave for another 30 minutes - this makes them easier to peel (you can leave them longer if you want - sometimes I program the oven to make them last thing at night and I peel them and prepare the salad the next morning.

3. 3

   Peel the peppers with your hands - the skin should come off very easily.

4. 4

   Don't worry if the skin looks burnt - the flesh won't be.

   Remove all seeds and cut the peppers into strips.

6. 6

   Put them in a bowl.

7. 7

   Peel the aubergines, also with your fingers

8. 8

9. 9

10. 10

11. 11

    Mix the ingredients together, add the teaspoon of cumin seeds, stir well and leave to cool completely.

12. 12

    Once cold, add the olive oil and salt.

13. 13
