Description
Grandma never rushed this dish. Just peppers, garlic, and olive oil, roasted slow until everything melts into itself. The skins blister, the flavors deepen, and suddenly, a humble paprika becomes the highlight of the table. Spoon it over bread, eat it with a fork, or just straight from the pan.
