Ingredients

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the bell peppers, eggplant, and tomatoes on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, until the skins are blistered and charred.
  2. Place the roasted vegetables in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let steam for 10 minutes. This will make peeling easier.
  3. Peel the peppers, eggplant, and tomatoes, then remove the seeds and stems.
  4. In a food processor, combine the peppers, eggplant, tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, salt, sugar, and paprika. Process until smooth.
  5. Transfer to a jar or airtight container and let cool to room temperature before serving. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
