Preparation

Step 1

- Place the peppers on a lined baking tray and brush them with oil. Grill them for 10-15 minutes turning them until the skins are well charred. Put the peppers in a plastic bag and seal for 5 mins to loosen the skins.
- 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 cut into pieces. Place in a bowl.
- Pour over the dressing and scatter with the capers, olives and pine nuts.
- Serve with a bruschetta drizzled with extra virgin oil.
- Buon Appetito!
