Ingredients:
- Bell peppers (assorted colors): 3
- Ham sausages: 200g
- Tea Rubs: 1 tablespoon (a blend of black tea leaves, paprika, garlic powder, and a pinch of sugar)
- Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- Salt: to taste
- Black pepper: to taste
- Optional: fresh herbs for garnish
Instructions:
- Prepare the Tea Rubs: In a small bowl, mix the black tea leaves, paprika, garlic powder, and sugar. Crush the tea leaves lightly with a mortar and pestle or use a spice grinder to create a fine blend
- Prepare the Bell Peppers and Ham: Wash the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Cut into chunks or slices. Slice the ham sausages into thin pieces
- Marinate the Vegetables and Ham: In a large bowl, combine the bell peppers, ham slices, and tea rubs. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly and let marinate for 15-20 minutes
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat.
- Grill the Bell Peppers and Ham: Place the marinated bell peppers and ham on the grill grates or in a baking dish. Grill or bake until the bell peppers are tender and the ham is slightly charred and heated through, about 5-7 minutes per side
- Serve: Remove from the grill or oven and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Tips:
- The tea rubs add a unique aroma and depth of flavor to the dish, complementing the natural sweetness of the bell peppers and the savory taste of the ham
- For a more robust flavor, consider adding other vegetables like onions or zucchini to the mix.
