Roasted bell pepper
My mother brought this method of preparing bell peppers a long time ago from Moldova - that’s what Moldova, part of the USSR, was then called. The whole family loved it so much that not a single summer was complete without this dish. Having tried fried bell peppers, I stopped being surprised by my mother’s story that in Chisinau, during the pepper season, they fried them everywhere and literally in bags. The dish is very tasty and quite easy to prepare. The only “but” is the splashes that fly throughout the kitchen when frying peppers in vegetable oil and burn your hands. Despite this, I highly recommend trying this delicious pepper, and I’ll tell you how to fry it without any problems.
