This recipe was sent in by Iolanda Casala from Catalonia
I am from Barcelona. I have sent you a traditional recipe from Catalonia. It is easy, tasty and really appropriate to eat in the summer because it is cold and healthy.

The finished dish.
Ingredients
- 3 red peppers
- 3 aubergines
- 2 small onions
- 1 jar of anchovies
- 1 tin or jar of black olives without stones (optional)
- Salt
- Olive oil
- A loaf of rustic bread
Instructions
- Clean the peppers and aubergines and peel the onion.
- Put the vegetables (peppers, aubergines and onions) on a baking tray and put it into a pre-heated oven.
- When the ingredients are soft and toasted on the outside, take them out (normally after an hour).
- Put to the side to cool. Peel the vegetables and slice them length ways. Be sure to remove the seeds from the peppers.
- Toast a few slices of the rustic bread.
- Put the slices of bread on a dish. Place a couple of slices of each vegetable on the toast. Don't forget the anchovies (and, if you want, black olives).
- Drizzle some olive oil on top and sprinkle with salt to taste.
- Eat and enjoy!

Today it's warm and I prepared escalivada. I put red peppers, aubergines, small onions and small potatoes. Everything dressed with olive oil and then salted before cooking in the oven for about one hour. Peppers and aubergines have to be peel.
Orfa, Colombia
I like it,I made it is easy, healthful and fast, Thanks
Bogdan, Ukraine
The recipe is actually nice and tasty, it could be more tasty if you would grill those vegetables on barbecue and skin them afterwards.Caucasian nationalities use those kinds of grilled vegetables including tomato and potherbs but only without adding anchovies as the most tasty sauce to their grilled meat. Just try it!Thanks Iolanda

Shen, China
It looks beautiful. I like the pepper.
Michel, France
Very nice but personally, I don't like anchovies, may I put some sardina?
Fatih, Turkey
It looks good. There is a smilar meal in Turkey named "aubergine salad". But, vegetables are toasted on embers and this salad is eaten with other meal. It is not main meal. Also it does not include anchovies. I keen on try different form of this recipe. Thanks Iolanda.
Anood, UAE
You are very nice and wonderful.
Drek, Slovenia
good job
Carles, Catalonia
I also think that escalivada is a very tasty and healthy dish.Anchovies are delicious, but might be rare finding them in many countries. You also can do a good escalivada without them.The catalan word "escalivada" means grilled vegetables.
Sandra, Spain
I'm from Catalonia too, and escalivada is really good! You can prepare it changing a little the recipe, depending on your tastes about ingredients, but always is good! ;) Enjoy your meal!! (Bon profit! -in Catalan-)

Norma, Argentina
do you need to drizzle some olive oil on the baking tray before put the vegetables into a oven?
Helen, Russia
