4 (long) red peppers​
7-8 tablespoons evoo​
1000 ml water​

Halve the sweet peppers lengthwise, deseed and place them skin upwards on top of foil on a baking sheet/tray. Rinse the tomatoes and arrange them next to the peppers. Drizzle with 4-5 tablespoons of olive oil and charbroil/roast the vegetables for ~20 minutes in the upper part of the oven. Peel the blackened skin of the peppers carefully with a spoon or filleting knife. (Place the pepper pieces in a plastic bag and let cool, if the skin doesn’t detach easily). The tomatoes don’t have to be peeled.

Fry the minced garlic and chili in 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil on medium-high heat in a large pot for a minute or two. Add the flesh of the peppers, charred tomatoes, lime zest and 1000 ml water and bring to boil. Puree with e.g. a hand blender and season with smoked paprika, salt, sugar and black pepper. Garnish with chopped celery leaves or fresh herbs and serve with a spoondful of crème fraîche.
