A Rainbow Of Grilled Peppers

Recipe Ingredients

2		Red bell peppers
2		Orange bell peppers
2		Yellow bell peppers
2 tablespoons	30ml	Olive oil
		Salt - to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
3		Garlic cloves - thinly sliced (large)
1 tablespoon	15ml	Drained large capers
1 tablespoon	15ml	Whole fresh oregano leaves
8		Peasant bread - toasted

Recipe Instructions

To roast the peppers: Cut off the stems, then cut the peppers in half lengthwise. Core, seed and carefully trim off all of the inner white connective tissue. Lay the pepper halves skin-side up in a single layer on a baking sheet. Broil about 3 inches from the heat until the skins are charred black, 12 to 15 minutes.

Remove the peppers from the broiler and place them in a paper or plastic bag; seal tightly and let the peppers steam inside the bag for about 15 minutes. Then slip off the charred skins and proceed with the recipe.

Arrange the peppers decoratively on a platter. Drizzle with the oil; season with salt and pepper.

Place garlic slivers attractively around the peppers. Scatter with the capers and sprinkle generously with the oregano leaves. Serve the toasted peasant bread alongside the peppers in a napkin-lined basket.
