Dehydrating food
Home smoked and cured bacon has lasted a year because of dehydration
Drying is a method of food preservation that works by removing water from the food, which prevents the growth of microorganisms and decay. Drying food using the sun and wind to prevent spoilage has been known since ancient times. Water is usually removed by evaporation (air drying, sun drying, smoking or wind drying) but, in the case of freeze-drying, food is first frozen and then water is removed by sublimation.
Bacteria and micro-organisms within the food and from the air need the water in the food to grow. Drying effectively prevents them from surviving in the food. It also creates a hard outer-layer, helping to stop micro-organisms from entering the food.
Salting food is another method of dehydration as the salt draws out the moisture from the food, such as bacon.

3 small onions, left whole
4 sweet peppers of any colour (or a mixture), left whole
2 large tomatoes
1 or more hot chilli, chopped
Salt
Juice of 1 lemon

100 g tin of tuna, drained and crumbled
Mise en place
Preheat the oven to its highest temperature.
Method
Put the onions and peppers in a roasting tin and roast for about 30 minutes until the skins are very brown and they feel soft.
Add the tomatoes and roast for a further 5 minutes.
Remove the tin from the oven and transfer the peppers to a plastic bag.
Close the bag tightly and leave for 10 minutes as this makes them easier to peel.
Peel and cut the onions and tomatoes into small pieces.
Peel, seed and chop the peppers and add to the other vegetables with the chilli(es) in a bowl.
Mix in salt to taste, the lemon juice, olive oil and olives or capers.
