Ingredients
- 3 red and 3 yellow peppers
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for grilling
- 1 large garlic clove
- 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp pine nut, toasted
- 1-2 tbsp capers
- few basil leaves, shredded (optional)
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.
