Method

  • step 1

    Turn on the grill and line a baking tray with foil. Arrange the peppers, skin-side up, on the baking tray and brush with oil. Grill for 10-15 mins, turning, until skins are well charred. Put the peppers in a plastic bag and seal for 5 mins to loosen the skins.

  • step 2

    Meanwhile, crush the garlic and a generous pinch of salt to a paste using a pestle and mortar. Add the vinegar and oil, and blend to make a dressing. Strip the skins and seeds from the peppers, then quarter. Put the flesh in a bowl or food container. Pour over the dressing and scatter with the pine nuts, capers and basil, if using.

You basically grill the peppers whole and then remove the stalks, skins and seeds in STEP 2. Please also note there is a missing step…

Made this as a side dish to homemade pizza. It was delish!! My husband loved it! so it's a winner! Didn't haven't any capers but it was still great. Feta might be a nice addition next time.
