Analyzing cooking steps...
Completely charring the bell peppers adds depth of flavor and helps with skin removal.
Scoring and blanching tomatoes makes them easy to peel without losing flesh.
Clean your cutting station frequently, as Colette advises, to maintain hygiene.
Rinsing charred bell peppers in water or using paper towels helps remove all blackened skin.
If you don't have shallots, 1/2 small yellow onion can be substituted.
Remember to wash all fresh herbs before adding them to the sauce.
When reducing the wine, it's a good opportunity to relax and enjoy a sip (if of legal drinking age).
Straining the sauce is optional but recommended for a smoother, restaurant-quality texture.
Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and sugar to balance the flavors.
Use firm tomatoes for slicing to ensure they hold their shape during arrangement and baking.
A mandoline slicer is highly recommended for uniform thin slices, but use with extreme caution.
Japanese eggplants are preferred for their uniform shape, making slicing easier.
When plating, make sure the plate is clean for a professional presentation.
