Pebre recipe
- Cuisine: South American
In Chile, a big favourite is the all-purpose salsa called Pebre, often served with pumpkin fritters and some good, local wine. It’s also a sauce for barbequed meat and fish.
Ingredients
4 medium onions
2 tbsp raw sugar
1 bunch chives (optional)
2 or 3 bunches (depending on size) of fresh coriander
3 tomatoes
3-4 garlic cloves
½ green capsicum (red and yellow can be added to make it more colourful)
2 green Chilean chillies (if not chunky chilli paste - preferably from Chile)
2 spoons of white vinegar
3 spoons of grapeseed oil
½ lemon juice
Salt and pepper.
Oregano
Preparation
Dice the onions and place them in a strainer. To soften the strong onion flavour and reduce acidity, sprinkle raw sugar and hot water (not boiling) over the chopped onion. Mix with your hands and leave it to stand to reduce the acidity.
Then rinse the onions and add a handful of salt, mix it again with your hands. This time, soak it in cold water, then rinse it again and leave it in the strainer while you get the other ingredients ready.
Dice the tomatoes, garlic and capsicum and mix together in a shallow bowl . Then add finely chopped coriander (including stems) and chopped, pitted fresh chilli (or chilli paste).
(Optional) If you like an onion flavour but not as strong as the onion itself, add finely chopped chives.
Add the rinsed onion, lemon juice, salt, vinegar and grapeseed oil, mix well.
Season with oregano. Salt and pepper to taste.
Usually served in a little clay dish.
