Recipe Description

Zacuscă is a rich and smoky vegetable spread, featuring roasted eggplant and bell peppers, ideal for spreading on bread or as a savory dip.

Ingredients

  • 3 large eggplants
  • 6 bell peppers, mixed colors
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 carrots, grated
  • 400g (14 oz) can of diced tomatoes
  • 5 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika

Steps:

  1. Roast the eggplants and bell peppers in the oven at 475°F (240°C) for 30-35 minutes, until their skin blisters and they are soft inside.
  2. Allow the vegetables to cool, then peel the skin away and finely chop them.
  3. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and carrots, cooking them until they are soft.
  4. Add the chopped eggplants, bell peppers, canned tomatoes, bay leaves, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika to the pot.
