Method

  1. Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Put the peppers into a large baking dish, toss with a little of the oil from the anchovy can, then turn cut-side up. Roast for 40 mins, until soft but not collapsed.
  2. Slice 8 of the anchovies along their length. Put 2 halves of tomato, several garlic slices, a few little rosemary sprigs and two pieces of anchovy into the hollow of each pepper. Drizzle over the olive oil, then roast again for 30 mins until the tomatoes are soft and the peppers are filled with pools of tasty juice. Leave to cool and serve warm or at room temperature.

Make ahead

The best roasted peppers are always those left to sit in their own juices for a good while - overnight even - until the flesh gives in completely and the flavours mellow together

    This is soooo good., and very easy - just roast in 2 stages, and leave it until you need it. I paired it with a dish of cod & watercress by Rick Stein in a much older GF, and they were perfect for a hot & relaxed summer evening with friends.

    I've been making these for years, or a very similar version (uses basil) from Delia Smith's summer collection recipe book. Even simpler though as everything goes in the oven in one go - I'm not sure that the peppers need go be cooked on their own to begin with - maybe I'll give it a go for comparison. I great starter, veggie main, or as part of a buffet style meal. I've rated it 4 based on roasted red peppers are always delicious!!

    I made this the other night and it was great. It was also great the next day as leftovers because the flavours developed even more overnight. It was well paired with the foccacia; and I also made baked parmesan courgettes from Olive magazine, June 2007. These went well together (and I had courgettes to use up from our vegetable garden). Give it a try, it's worth it--the anchovies add flavour, but are not overpowering.

    This is a great recipe--I've made it quite a few times since I first saw it in the magazine and it's never failed to get envious comments from people at work when I have it for lunch! It tastes great the next day at room temperature. A lovely and easy light meal.

    Can Jane or somebody at Good Food or any website user tell me why we have to roast twice? Is it not possible to assemble the pepper with the filling and then roast all at one time?

    Yummie! You HAVE to try this one. And don't be afraid to use just a little bit more anchovies and garlic :)

    An excellent recipe: easy & tasty. I removed the stalks and seeds of four peppers, rinsed them out and, still wet, gave them about five minutes in the microwave. This reduced the recipe suggested oven time and saved fuel.

    I added half a stoned green olive to each halved pepper.

    This is simple to make and delicious. I assemble and bake for 1 hour. Otherwise make exactly. I've made is a few times, I like the idea of adding chopped olives.

    A delicious accompaniment but not main-course material, even with bread to mop up the wonderful juices. It would be lovely as part of a summer buffet.

    Such an easy, delicious dish. Didn't put anchovies in all the peppers due to popular demand but they were missed - the flavours aren't fishy, just somehow enhanced. Culinary magic!

    Lovely, possibly a bit longer in oven needed; maybe leave peppers in oven once you've switched it off. Delicious though. I'd use the full tin of anchovies rather than have some left!
