Pebre recipe
- Cuisine: South American
- Prep Time: 20 min(s)
- Makes 4 cups
In Chile this all-purpose salsa is a big favourite, often served with pumpkin fritters and some good local wine. It’s also an excellent accompaniment to barbecued meat and fish. Pebre includes a large quantity of onion, but soaking the onion in sugar, then salt, softens the raw flavour. (Instead of onion you could use a bunch of finely chopped chives.)
Ingredients
4 medium onions, diced2 tbsp raw sugar
salt
3 tomatoes, diced
½ green capsicum (or red or yellow for a more colourful salsa), diced
3–4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 green Chilean chillies, seeded and finely chopped (or use Chilean chilli paste)
2–3 bunches coriander, finely chopped (including stems)
juice of ½ lemon
2 tbsp white vinegar
3 tbsp grape-seed oil
dried oregano
pepper
Preparation
Put the onion in a colander and sprinkle with the sugar and some hot water (not boiling). Mix with your hands and leave to stand for 10 minutes. Rinse the onion and mix in a handful of salt. Transfer to a bowl, fill with cold water and leave to stand for a further 10 minutes, then tip the onion back into the colander, rinse again and drain well.Combine the tomato, capsicum, garlic, chilli and coriander in a bowl. Add the onion, lemon juice, vinegar and oil and mix well. Sprinkle with a little oregano and add salt and pepper to taste.

Flouring a cake tin
Try to use the same sort of fat as is used for the cake mixture. Smear the fat evenly all over the inside of the tin (making sure you get into the corners) using a piece of absorbent kitchen paper.
