OVEN ROASTED BELL PEPPERS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Cut the bell peppers into quarters lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes.
• Put the bell pepper wedges in a bowl and pour olive oil over them. Toss with your hands so the peppers are coated with oil.
• Put the bell peppers on a baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and oregano.
• Put the peppers in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.

ROASTED PEPPERS RECIPE (TWO WAYS!)

Steps:

• Turn your gas burner to medium. Put a bell pepper directly over the flame. Grill, turning around regularly with a pair of tongs, until the pepper is charred and very soft (about 15 minutes or so). You can use more than one gas burner if you like to cook several peppers at once. (Be sure to maintain a safe distance from the heat source).
• Heat the oven on to 450 degrees F. Arrange the peppers in one single layer on the pan. Roast on the center rack of your heated oven for anywhere from 25 to 40 minutes, turning the peppers around occasionally to make sure they soften and char well on all sides. (You can also choose to broil the peppers, but you'll want to watch them carefully as they broil).
• When the peppers are fully roasted, immediately transfer them to a heat-safe bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap to trap the steam. Set aside for 10 to 15 minutes or so until they are cool enough to handle. This will help you peel them easily.
• When the peppers are cool enough to handle by hand, uncover the bowl. Handling one pepper at a time, hold from the top (by the stem), poke a small hole to release any liquid from within the peppers. Peel and discard the charred skin(this will be a bit messy). Slice the pepper open and scrape the seeds. Discard the seeds.
• As an easy appetizer, arrange the sliced peppers on a platter and add some burrata or mozzarella and seasonings of your choice (I used garlic and crushed red pepper flakes). Add some sliced rustic bread to serve along.
• You can use your roasted peppers immediately. To marinate them for later, slice the roasted and peeled peppers up into strips and put them in a glass jar. Pour some good extra virgin olive oil on top to cover the peppers (I like to add sliced garlic, a pinch of kosher salt, and some crushed pepper flakes for flavor). Seal the jar shut and store in the fridge. They will keep for 1 to 2 weeks.

ROASTED BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• Turn on the broiler in the oven. (For those of you in the UK, set the grill to highest setting) Put one shelf at the lowest level and the other shelf at the highest level.
• Cut off the top of the garlic bulb and discard. Put the bulb in a small ramekin, drizzle the 2 teaspoons olive oil over the top, and cover with foil. Place on the bottom shelf of the oven. Set the timer for 45 minutes.
• In the meantime, slice off the tops of the peppers, slice in half lengthwise and in half, lengthwise again, so that you have four long pieces of pepper. Lay flesh side down on a baking sheet.
• Place under the broiler/grill until the skins have turned bubbly and black, about 20-30 minutes. The blacker the skin is, the easier it will be to peel them.
• Remove the peppers to a brown paper bag(lunchbag type) or to a bowl covered with cling film, to steam for about 10 minutes.
• Check on the garlic. It should be soft enough for you to sqeeze the pulp out. If not, return to oven for another 5-10 minutes. Squeeze the pulp out into a medium bowl and set aside.
• Remove the peppers from the brown bag or bowl to a cutting board. Carefully peel the blackened skin from the peppers and discard.
• Put the peppers, basil, oregano and salt (and pine nuts, if using) into the bowl with the garlic. Using your fingers, gently mix together until well combined, adding more seasonings to suit your taste. Transfer mixture to jar.
• Pour olive oil over peppers until covered. Place lid on jar and leave to sit about 1-2 hours. Stir peppers and store in fridge for up to 3 weeks. If oil solidifies, remove from fridge 30 minutes prior to consuming.
• Enjoy!

ROASTED BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Rinse out a large roasting pan and leave the moisture in the pan.
• Wash the peppers, leave the moisture on them and place in the roasting pan.
• Lower the oven to 325.
• Bake the peppers until soft, about 40-60 minutes. Green peppers take longer than red so just keep an eye on them.
• Turn them over once during the cooking process.
• All ovens run different - You want the skins to look puffy and a bit charred before you take them out.
• Place them in a large deep bowl and cover with plastic wrap.
• When cool, remove the peppers from the bowl.
• Strain the juice left over in the bowl and return it to the bowl.
• Remove the skins and seeds from the roasted peppers (do not rinse).
• Slice thinly and place back in the bowl with the juice.
• Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
• Marinate in the fridge for at least 3 hours, overnight is best.
• Enjoy!
