Summer Sides Trio: Marinated Tomato Bruschetta, Roasted Red Peppers, and Mezcal Margaritas (1x58)

Ausstrahlung: Jun 26, 2024

If you love margaritas in the summer and negronis in the fall, you will fully freak out for The Hola Ciao. It’s essentially a mezcal-Campari margarita.The mezcal makes it smoky, the Campari gives it backbone, and fresh lime juice keeps it bright and zesty. A dash of Cointreau lends some sweetness and a slightly bitter note, which bridges the citrus juice and Campari perfectly. The side dishes in this video have been adapted from That Sounds So Good: Roasted Red Peppers with Garlic Chips, and Marinated Tomato Bruschetta. What I love about both dishes is that: they showcase nightshades, which peak in summer; the colors are incredible; the ingredients are very few; they can be made hours if not days ahead; they can be enjoyed as is, or reconfigured into sauces or condiments; they are perfect to bring to a friend’s, if you’re not the one hosting; and they can both be made with or without a grill.
