Roasted red peppers with tomato paste and olive oil brings together peeled, fire-roasted peppers and a savoury sauce of tomato paste and olive oil. It is a homestyle preparation familiar in Turkish cooking, where the peppers’ gentle smokiness is part of the appeal.
Serve it cool or at room temperature as a meze, a side for grilled foods, or alongside bread. The peppers turn tender and slightly sweet, balanced by the concentrated tomato and fruity oil. It offers vitamin C, fibre and monounsaturated fats, so it makes a flavourful vegetable addition rather than a protein-centred dish. For a lighter version, use a little less oil and loosen the tomato paste with water.
