Grilled Vegetables - Escalivada
The name escalivada comes from the Catalan word "escalivar" which means to cook in ashes, and is traditionally cooked in the ashes of a wood fire. It can also be grilled, either on a grate or directly in the hot coals.
Indoor it can be made in the oven, which is what I have done here, or even in the microwave oven.

Set the oven to 437°F / 225°C.
- 3
Wash and wrap the vegetables in aluminium foil (if you make escalivada in a microwave, don't wrap the vegetables).
- 4
When the oven is hot, place the roasting pan with the wrapped vegetables in the oven.
- 5
Leave the vegetables in the oven for 30-45 min, but turn them around after 15-20 min. How long they need to stay in the oven depends on the size of the vegetables you use. You have to experiment with the time if you use a microwave, the time depends on size and how many vegetables you put in the micro at a time.
- 6
When they are done (you should be able to easily peel of the skin with your fingers), take the vegetables out of the oven, remove the foil (be careful not to burn your fingers) and let them cool off.
- 7
When they have cooled off (20-30 min.), you can easily peel the skin off all the vegetables and remove the seeds from the peppers.
- 8
Tear the aubergine and the pepper in approx. 2 cm. slices. Cut the onions in appropriate sizes and arrange all on a serving plate.
- 9
You can sprinkle a little finely chopped garlic, a pinch of salt and some good oil over the dish.
- 10
Escalivada can be kept in the fridge for 2-3 days, and can be served as an appetizer on it's own, as a side dish to most meat and fish dishes, and with torrada (toasted bread with tomato), topped with e.g. tuna, anchovies and olives, as a lunch dish or snack.
