ZACUSCA RECIPE - ROMANIAN ROASTED EGGPLANT AND RED PEPPER SPREAD



Zacusca Recipe - Romanian Roasted Eggplant and Red Pepper Spread image

Zacusca is a Romanian vegetable spread made primarily from roasted eggplant and red peppers. It is popularly served as a spread on bread, but also as a relish for meats. Learn how to make it with Chili Pepper Madness.

Categories     Appetizer     Main Course     sauce

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 medium eggplants (aka aubergines)
4 large red bell peppers
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium white onion (chopped)
2 jalapeno peppers (optional, or use a serrano pepper or 2 for a spicier version)
1 pound fresh tomatoes (diced (canned tomatoes are good, too, or even tomato sauce))
½ cup sunflower oil (you can use olive oil or other vegetable oil)
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste (I use about 1 teaspoon each)

Steps:

  • Poke the eggplant flesh in several places with a knife (this allows steam to escape when cooking).
  • Remove the stems from the peppers and core them. Slice them in half lengthwise.
  • FOR GRILLING: Heat the grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grates. Set the eggplant and red peppers (skin sides uonto the grates and close the lid. Grill 20 minutes, or until the red pepper skins bubble up and char. Remove them. Continue to grill the eggplant, flipping every few minutes to get an even char on the skins and the flesh is softened up, another 20 minutes or so. Remove from heat.
  • FOR BAKING: Set the eggplant and red peppers onto a large foil-lined baking sheet.
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees and bake the egglplant and peppers for 20 minutes, until the pepper skins char and bubble up. Remove the peppers and flip the eggplants. Continue to roast until the eggplants soften and blacken, another 20-25 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • When the peppers and eggplant are done, remove the pepper skins and discard them. Set them aside for now, covered.
  • Scoop out the eggplant flesh and discard the skins. Place the eggplant flesh into a strainer and sprinkle with salt. Let the liquids drain out for 1 hour.
  • Add the drained eggplant and chili peppers to a blender or food processor and process until chunky.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan and add the onion and jalapeno peppers (and/or serrano peppers, if you're using them). Cook for 5 minutes, stirring, until everything softens up.
  • Add the processed eggplant and red peppers, fresh or canned tomatoes, sunflower oil, honey (if using), and salt and pepper. Bring to a quick boil, then reduce the heat. Simmer for at least 30 minutes, or until everything breaks down and combines into a thicker spread to your preferred thickness. I like to simmer 60-90 minutes to develop more flavor. If it dries out too much, add in a few tablespoons of water.
  • Remove the bay leaf and adjust for salt and pepper.

ROMANIAN CHILLI



Romanian Chilli image

Quick one-skillet meal. Great with rice or bread. Adjust the amount of chilli powder to get the level of heat you want. For the garnish we used kung pao chillies because that's what's growing in our back yard right now, but you can use whatever chillies you want. Please note that I have classified this as "Hungarian" because there's not an option for Romanian and Hungarian seemed like the nearest alternative.

CHILLI CON CARNE RECIPE



Chilli con carne recipe image

This great chilli recipe has to be one of the best dishes to serve to friends for a casual get-together. An easy sharing favourite that uses up storecupboard ingredients.

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Lunch

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 large onion
1 red pepper
2 garlic cloves
1 tbsp oil
1 heaped tsp hot chilli powder (or 1 level tbsp if you only have mild)
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
500g lean minced beef
1 beef stock cube
400g can chopped tomatoes
½ tsp dried marjoram
1 tsp sugar (or add a thumbnail-sized piece of dark chocolate along with the beans instead, see tip)
2 tbsp tomato purée
410g can red kidney beans
plain boiled long grain rice , to serve
soured cream , to serve

Steps:

  • Prepare your vegetables. Chop 1 large onion into small dice, about 5mm square. The easiest way to do this is to cut the onion in half from root to tip, peel it and slice each half into thick matchsticks lengthways, not quite cutting all the way to the root end so they are still held together. Slice across the matchsticks into neat dice.
  • Cut 1 red pepper in half lengthways, remove stalk and wash the seeds away, then chop. Peel and finely chop 2 garlic cloves.
  • Start cooking. Put your pan on the hob over a medium heat. Add 1 tbsp oil and leave it for 1-2 minutes until hot (a little longer for an electric hob).
  • Add the onion and cook, stirring fairly frequently, for about 5 minutes, or until the onion is soft, squidgy and slightly translucent.
  • Tip in the garlic, red pepper, 1 heaped tsp hot chilli powder or 1 level tbsp mild chilli powder, 1 tsp paprika and 1 tsp ground cumin.
  • Give it a good stir, then leave it to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Brown 500g lean minced beef. Turn the heat up a bit, add the meat to the pan and break it up with your spoon or spatula. The mix should sizzle a bit when you add the mince.
  • Keep stirring and prodding for at least 5 minutes, until all the mince is in uniform, mince-sized lumps and there are no more pink bits. Make sure you keep the heat hot enough for the meat to fry and become brown, rather than just stew.
  • Make the sauce. Crumble 1 beef stock cube into 300ml hot water. Pour this into the pan with the mince mixture.
  • Add a 400g can of chopped tomatoes. Tip in ½ tsp dried marjoram, 1 tsp sugar and add a good shake of salt and pepper. Squirt in about 2 tbsp tomato purée and stir the sauce well.
  • Simmer it gently. Bring the whole thing to the boil, give it a good stir and put a lid on the pan. Turn down the heat until it is gently bubbling and leave it for 20 minutes.
  • Check on the pan occasionally to stir it and make sure the sauce doesn't catch on the bottom of the pan or isn't drying out. If it is, add a couple of tablespoons of water and make sure that the heat really is low enough. After simmering gently, the saucy mince mixture should look thick, moist and juicy.
  • Drain and rinse a 410g can of red kidney beans in a sieve and stir them into the chilli pot. Bring to the boil again, and gently bubble without the lid for another 10 minutes, adding a little more water if it looks too dry.
  • Taste a bit of the chilli and season. It will probably take a lot more seasoning than you think.
  • Now replace the lid, turn off the heat and leave your chilli to stand for 10 minutes before serving. This is really important as it allows the flavours to mingle.
  • Serve with soured cream and plain boiled long grain rice.
