Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Put the peppers and garlic in a roasting dish. toss with 4 tbsp olive oil. Cook in the oven for 25 minutes until the peppers are darkened on the outside. Take the peppers and garlic from the tray and put in a large bowl. Reserve the juices in a small bowl.
  2. Cover the peppers and garlic with clingfilm. Leave to steam for 15 minutes - this will make the skins easier to remove.
  3. Take off the clingfilm then squeeze out the garlic into a bowl. Mash with some black pepper to make a paste and then mix with the butter. The peppers should now be easy to peel. take off the outer skin, then remove the seeds and the top and discard. Tear each pepper into strips, as rough as you like. Mix the juices from the steaming bowl with the roasting juices.
  4. Fry the chorizo in a non-stick pan until crisp. Chargrill the bread. Tip the peppers, chorizo and chopped parsley into the cooking/steaming juices and mix well.
  5. Now butter the toast with garlic butter then top with the peppers. Add a couple of anchovies to each toast then serve.

    Absolutely gorgeous, left off the anchovies (personal taste), but these went down a storm as a starter. Makes a change from the usual bruchetta.

    Delicious - I deviated from the recipe slightly by omitting the butter and anchovies and adding goats cheese and mushrooms but they tasted great. Will definitely make these again.

    Made this as a starter for our Valentine's Day meal earlier this year and it was delicious. Stuck to the recipe 100% and the boyfriend absolutely loved it.
