Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 6 Bell Peppers red
  • 2 cloves garlic coarsely chopped
  • 2 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
  • 4-5 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 tbsp Mint fresh and finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp Basil fresh and finely chopped
  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 420 F
  • Place peppers on a baking sheet with a lip to catch any juices lined with parchment paper
  • Roast the peppers for 30 minutes or until their skins blister and turn black
  • Flip them on their sides and roast them for 10 minutes more
  • Place roasted peppers in a bowl to cool off for 10 minutes or until cool enough to handle (tip: cover with plastic wrap to help the skins lift off the flesh)
  • Peel off and discard blackened skins, along with stems and seeds (tip: use an empty bowl to catch the juices and discarded parts as I do in the video. Otherwise, it'll get messy)
  • Shred the filets coarsely with your fingers (watch how I do it in the video) and place them in a clean bowl
  • Add the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, chopped herbs, salty & pepper and toss the peppers until they are completely dressed and coated
  • Cover the bowl and place peppers inside the fridge to marinate for 4 hours or overnight
  • Take the peppers out of the fridge at least 10 minutes before serving, toss them thoroughly and sprinkle more fresh mint and basil for extra flavor. Buon appetito!
