“These slow-cooked peppers are so intensely sweet, I guarantee they’ll stop you in your tracks,” says Georgina Hayden, author of new plant-based cookbook, Nistisima.
“You’ll often find different proteins cooked amongst the peppers – pork being a popular choice, chicken and eggs too – but during times of fasting they are cooked straight up. And to be honest, you don’t miss the meat at all.”

Slow-cooked peppers
This rich and delicious dish is also known as ‘bećar paprikaš’.
Servings: 4 people
Calories: 374kcal
Equipment
- Heatproof bowl
- Casserole dish
Ingredients
- 4 onions
- 4 garlic cloves
- 10 peppers (a mixture of red, yellow and orange)
- 5 ripe tomatoes
- 100 ml sunflower oil
- sea salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- flat-leaf parsley sprigs optional
Method
- Peel and finely slice the onions and garlic. Halve the peppers, remove and discard the core and seeds, and cut into even sized pieces, around 2-3cm. Score a cross in the top of the tomatoes, place in a heatproof bowl (or pan) and cover with boiling water. Leave for a minute or two, until the skin starts to come away from the flesh, and drain. Peel the tomatoes and then roughly slice or chop the flesh.
- Place a wide flameproof casserole on a medium heat, drizzle in the sunflower oil and add all the ingredients (not the parsley). Season generously, with a teaspoon each of salt and pepper, and start to fry. After 10 minutes, reduce the heat to low and fry for around one-and-a-half to two hours. Stir occasionally, until you have a thick, rich and meltingly soft stew. Taste and tweak the seasoning as necessary, then serve, scattered with chopped parsley if you like.
