Microwave roasted red pepper

Today's recipe is a classic in our house, since, as you know, we do not have an oven, so we adapt all the recipes we can to make them in the microwave. We wanted to share with you this recipe for roasted peppers because it is very easy, it does not stain anything and the peppers, once cooked, last perfectly for several days in the fridge.

Ingredients:
- 2 red peppers
- Olive oil

Recipe:
- Wash the peppers well and dry them with absorbent paper.
- In a microwave-safe dish (we have used a pyrex one), place the two peppers, one next to the other but without touching.
- Pour a splash of olive oil in a small bowl and, with the help of a kitchen brush, paint both peppers on all sides.
- In case you do not have a brush, spread the oil on the peppers with your hands.
- Put them back in the dish and cook them in the microwave for 7 minutes at 800W.
- Then, turn the peppers over and cook them another 7 minutes at the same power.
- Once you have cooked them above and below, cook them 1 minute more on each side.
- Take them out of the microwave and cover the source with aluminum foil.
- Let the peppers rest and sweat until they cool completely (you can see how they look in the photo below).
- Peel them carefully.

Microwave butter cookies

This morning we woke up with a craving for cookies, but we did not have them at home, and as you already know that we do not have an oven either, so we had to make these in the microwave, which also takes only 5 minutes in total to prepare them ... and it's very easy!

Ingredients for 8 units:

- 1 teaspoon of butter

- 1 teaspoon of sugar

- 1 teaspoon of vanilla sugar

- 1 pinch of salt

- 1 egg yolk

- 4 teaspoons of flour

Recipe:

- Put the butter in a bowl and melt it in the microwave for approximately 30 seconds.

- In the same bowl, add the two types of sugar and a pinch of salt and mix well.

- Add the egg yolk and mix well again.

- Incorporate the flour little by little, mixing again until all the ingredients are well integrated and a soft but manipulable dough remains.

- On the glass plate of the microwave, place a sheet of baking paper cut into the shape of the plate.

- Place several teaspoons of the dough on the sheet, well separated from each other, since each will be a cookie and if you place them a short distance away, when they are cooked they will be joined.

- Cook them in the microwave for 45 seconds at 800W, if when you open you see that they are not made yet, cook them for 10 seconds more until they are well done but soft.

*Tip for cookers: We have made the basic cookies, but you can add if you like chocolate chips (to make cookies similar to chips ahoy), a little liquid chocolate, caramel... what you want!
