ROASTED PEPPERS WITH GARLIC AND BASIL

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler and move the rack down in the oven so that it isn't so close to the broiling elements.
• Place the peppers on a baking pan. Broil the peppers, turning them occasionally so that they are charred on all sides. This may take around 20 minutes.
• Transfer the cooked peppers to a plate, and cover with a bowl. Leave them to steam for 15 minutes.
• Place the peppers on a cutting board and remove the stalk and seeds. Flip the peppers over and use the edge of a knife to lift up the skin and remove as much as possible. Slice them into long strips about 1" wide.
• In a large skillet, add the olive oil and garlic. Cook over a medium heat for a couple of minutes, then add the peppers. Stir to coat in the garlic oil, and season with salt and pepper.
• Finally, stir in the shredded basil at the last minute, then serve.
