Easy baked escalibada recipe
The escalivada or escalibada is a typical dish from the region of Catalonia , originating in rural Catalan areas where the vegetables harvested in the garden were used to prepare it.
This is a very easy recipe to make. We just need some red peppers, some aubergines, tomatoes and onions .
The name of this dish comes from the Catalan verb escalivar . Escalivar is a cooking method where food is roasted in a mixture of glowing embers and ashes.
However, the escalivada can also be prepared using an oven , since many people do not have the option of cooking it on coals. For this reason, today I bring to the cooking blog how to prepare it using the typical oven that we all have at home.
My favorite way to eat escalibada is on a toasted bread accompanied by tuna and some good anchovies from the scale.

How to make escalivada in the oven
- The first step of the recipe is to prepare the vegetables to put them in the oven. We wash them with plenty of water and let them dry or dry them with a clean cloth.
- We remove the top part of the eggplants and make some cuts to facilitate cooking.

- We add the eggplants, red peppers, tomatoes and onion to the tray and add a splash of olive oil.
- We preheat the oven to 200 ºC and once it is ready we add the vegetables.
- We bake for approximately 1 hour. It is important to control the cooking since the exact time will depend on many factors such as the type of oven or the size of the vegetables. To check the condition of the vegetables, it is advisable to prick them. When it enters without any impediment it means that they are already cooked.
- Once done, we turn off the oven and let them cool. When the vegetables are very cold, we take them out and we can start peeling.

Accompaniment for the climb
We can accompany a wide variety of dishes and recipes with escalivada. However, my favorite dish is the escalivada toast with tuna and anchovies. It's delicious!
We can use country or loaf bread. We toast it and add the escalivada that we have prepared on top. Optionally, we can spread the bread with a little tomato.
We put tuna and some anchovies on top and we already have an exquisite toast made with baked escalibada, anchovies and tuna.

I started cosmorecipes in 2020 during the time we were cooped up at home. Having so much free time I spent a lot of time in the kitchen trying different dishes. So I decided to mix cooking with my other great passion: web programming. That's why I decided to open this blog where I post the different recipes that I'm cooking.
