500g
vegetable oil
80ml
salt
1 teaspoon
Instructions
1
Prepare the peppers
Wash the red twisted peppers thoroughly under running water. Pat completely dry with clean kitchen towels or paper towels—moisture is the enemy here.
2
Cut and season
Remove the stems and slice the peppers into 2-inch pieces or bite-sized chunks. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
3
Coat with oil
Drizzle the oil over the peppers, add the salt, and toss everything together until each piece is lightly coated. The oil seals in freshness and prevents spoilage.

Store
Transfer the dressed peppers into a clean, dry glass jar. Press down gently to remove any air pockets. Seal tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before using to let flavors meld.
