Ingredients
- 2 red peppers, quartered and seeded
- 1 large brinjal, roughly chopped

- 2 T butter
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- ½ cup cream

- 1 t freshly ground black pepper
Method
1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Toss the peppers and brinjal in the olive oil, season and roast for 25–30 minutes or until soft and slightly caramelised.
2. To make the sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Grana Padano and pepper until smooth and glossy.
3. To serve, arrange the roasted vegetables on plates, top with the flaked salmon and spoon over the sauce.
Cook’s note: The cacio e pepe-style cream sauce also works beautifully as a pasta topping or drizzled over charred greens.
