One of the biggest compliments I've received when down in Kosovo is the statement made by colleagues that "I'm getting more Balkan". Now it's time to get more Balkan in the kitchen.
The recipe is really simple, but what makes this dish all the more special for me is the fact that I got the recipe from a local friend. The taste.. is amazing. You can get this dish or something similar in most kebaptores and restaurants down here, too, but when your friend's mother has been the one marinating the bell peppers, the taste is something special.
Step 1. Buy bell peppers. Green, red, yellow. Roast the bell peppers in oven, in ca. 200degrees C around 20 minutes - until they're getting soft and a bit brown here and there.
Step 2. Peel the bell peppers. Take some garlic, place the cloves and the peppers in a deep dish, and add some good quality olive oil. Be liberal with the oil. You can also add some pepper and salt.
Step 3. Put the peppers in the fridge. Wait and let them marinate a couple of days.
Step 4. Enjoy the marinated bell peppers with some cheese, bread, home made Kosovar wine or rakija. Remember that the best things are always very simple.
