Red Pepper Spread
(Zengin)
2 red bell pepper
1 medium size onion
5-6 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp red pepper paste
Salt
Cut off the top of the red pepper. Cut in half and discard the seeds. Set the oven to broil (grill), and pre-heat. Place the red pepper on an oven tray, insides facing down and put in the oven. Roast for about 15 minutes. Afterwards place it in a paper bag for 10 minutes so you can peel the skins off easier. Do so, then cut in strips, about 1 inch wide. Then cut in small cubes.
Cut the onion at the same size as the red pepper. Crush the onion with salt and red pepper paste. Then toss with the roasted red peppers, lemon juice and olive oil.
Place on the service plate and serve with any kind of Kebab.

Hi, We just returned from a trip from Turkey and loved the food there. I ate something translated as "chili salad" at several restaurants and really enjoyed it as a relish with my meat dishes. I can't seem to find it on the web or in the Turkish cookbooks I've seen. Is this recipe it or if not do you know the recipe?
Hi,
There is so much variety of Turkish food. If you let me know of the ingredients, I could be more helpful:) But it may be Red Pepper Spread or Turkish Style Tomato Dip (Acili Ezme), here is the address;
Good morning,
can you make red pepper paste at home or is it something the turkish grocer would stock?
Tracey
