Wash the bell peppers and dice them very finely, and dice the gherkins very finely. Chop the sun-dried tomatoes very finely. Mix all ingredients together and enjoy. Tip: If you like, you can add about 50g of room-temperature butter (I skip it because of the calories). Curry powder also tastes good in Liptauer. Liptauer is served on black bread or toast or on fresh pastries and is a popular, delicious spread at wine taverns. I use organic dairy products.
