Roasted Sweet Peppers
|
In the late summer, the local gardens
produced more vegetables than
anybody could eat fresh, but there
were various time-honored ways of
preserving them for later
consumption. Sweet bell peppers
were roasted and saved for antipasti,
pasta salads, or other dishes that call
for fresh sweet peppers.
12 medium sweet peppers (green,
yellow or red)
1/2 cup, olive oil
1 can (about 4 ounces), anchovies,
thoroughly mashed
1/4 cup, chopped parsley
1/2 cup, basil, coarsely chopped
1 medium sized garlic clove, finely
chopped
1 teaspoon, ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon, salt

Cut peppers in half lengthwise, and
clean out seeds.
Lightly oil a baking pan, and arrange
pepper halves with skin side upward.
Slide peppers under broiler and cook
until the skin is dark brown and blistered.
Remove peppers and set aside for 10 to
15 minutes in a closed plastic storage
bag, then peel skins. (Note: for other
recipes using roasted peppers stop
here.)
Cut each pepper half into 3 or 4
lengthwise strips, and arrange on a
serving platter.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, anchovies,
parsley, basil, garlic, pepper and salt,
mixing well.
Spoon the mixture over the peppers. Set
platter aside for a couple of hours (may
also be refrigerated).
Serve at room temperature, with other
antipasti, one or two strips per person.
Remaining peppers may be stored in
airtight containers and refrigerated until
ready to serve. Alternatively, they can be
canned in airtight jars and stored
indefinitely .
