Broiled Red Peppers And Tomatoes With Caper Vinaigrette Food

ROASTED ARTICHOKE SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the artichoke hearts in a bowl with 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and toss until the artichoke hearts are coated. Dump the artichoke hearts onto a sheet pan and spread out into 1 layer; roast in the oven for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette. Place the minced shallot, lemon juice, mustard, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process for 5 seconds. Add the basil leaves and process into a green puree. With the processor running, slowly pour 1/2 cup olive oil into the bowl through the feed tube until the ingredients are finely pureed. Set aside.
• Place the roasted artichoke hearts in a bowl and toss with enough vinaigrette to moisten. Add the capers, red peppers, red onion, parsley, 4 tablespoons vinegar and red pepper flakes, if using, and toss gently. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and let stand for 30 minutes for the flavors to blend. Serve at room temperature.

HOW TO ROAST RED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Turn the oven on broil (high, if you have a high or low option). Position your oven rack about a third of the way from the top of the oven.
• Line a baking sheet, preferably with rims, with foil.
• Place the whole peppers on the baking sheet and put them in the oven.
• Check the peppers after about five minutes. Once the skin is black or partially black, turn the pepper one quarter, and continue roasting until that side blackens.
• Repeat the step two more times, until all four sides of the pepper are black or nearly black.
• Remove from the oven and allow the pan to cool a bit. Cover with a dish towel, paper towels, or foil. You cover the peppers to help "sweat" the skin, which will make it much easier to peel off.
• After the peppers have cooled enough to handle, uncover and head on over to your sink.
• Peel the skin off of the peppers and discard the skin. Remove the seeds, too, but resist rinsing the peppers with water, which washes away some of that delicious flavor.
• Place the peppers in a jar or lidded dish, and cover with olive oil.
• They keep, refrigerated, for a couple of days.

• Unwrap foil carefully. Remove and discard stems, seeds, and charred skin, but save all the liquid.
• Put the saved liquid in a mixing bowl. Cut peppers into 1/2" strips and place in bowl.
• Add remaining ingredients and refrigerate several hours or overnight.
