Ingredients
Scale
Fresh Vegetables
- 1 pound ripe tomatoes, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
Herbs and Seasonings
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Liquids
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, cilantro, parsley, white vinegar, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Make sure all the fresh vegetables and herbs are evenly chopped to ensure a well-balanced texture.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir the mixture thoroughly with a spoon or spatula to combine all ingredients evenly. This ensures the flavors meld well together and the vinegar is evenly distributed throughout the pebre.
- Serve or Store: Serve the pebre immediately as a fresh condiment with bread, grilled meats, or traditional Chilean dishes. Alternatively, refrigerate the pebre for later use; chilling allows the flavors to develop further. It can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Notes
- For a spicier version, you can add minced fresh chili or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor and texture.
- Pebre is traditionally served room temperature, but refrigeration enhances the flavor melding.
- This recipe is naturally gluten free and vegan.
- Adjust the vinegar to your taste preference to control the acidity.
