Pepper salsa with verjus in a bowl, surrounded by fresh peppers, onions and herbs

A mild salsa for barbecue season: pointed peppers, onion and garlic are sautéed briefly and then braised with Vinberg Verjus extra sour until soft and full of flavour. The verjus adds a fresh acidity without any vinegar. The recipe comes from Anna (@histazauber) and is low-histamine by design. Serve it with grilled food, potatoes or as a dip.
