Marinated Roasted Pepper Salad Food

MARINATED ROASTED PEPPER SALAD

Steps:

• Place bell peppers directly over a gas flame and cook, turning with tongs, until charred all over.
• Wrap each pepper in a paper towel, transfer to a bowl, and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let stand until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes, then rub off skins with a paper towel. Do not run peppers under water or you will wash away the flavor. Cut peppers into quarters and remove seeds and veins and discard.
• Transfer to a bowl and toss with oil and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Add basil and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately or refrigerate, covered, up to 3 days. If refrigerating, bring to room temperature and wait until just before serving to add basil.

MARINATED ROASTED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Peppers: Place pepper directly over a high gas flame; use tongs to rotate pepper until the entire surface is charred, about 10 minutes. (Alternatively, roast under the broiler, turning occasionally with tongs to char evenly.) Place charred pepper in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap; the steam trapped in the bowl will enable "carryover cooking." Let rest to loosen skin, 15 minutes.
• Pepper is ready to be peeled when there's condensation under the plastic. Remove plastic wrap and place pepper on a work surface. Use a kitchen towel to gently rub off the charred skin. Tear pepper in half; discard the stem and seeds. Slice into ¼-inch strips, then cut strips into 1-inch segments. Set aside in a bowl.
• In a small saucepan over very low heat, add oil, thyme, bay leaf, garlic, and lemon peel. Heat until warm and aromatic, 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and pour contents over peppers. Stir to make sure peppers are fully submerged, cover with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator, 6-12 hours. Makes 1½ cups. (You can store the peppers in a lidded container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days.)

ROASTED MARINATED SWEET PEPPERS

Steps:

• Prepare a hot fire in a gas or charcoal grill or preheat a grill pan or heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Place the peppers on the grill or in the grill pan or skillet, and cook them, turning frequently, until they are charred on all sides and the flesh is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. (Alternatively, you can cook the peppers over the direct flame of a gas stove.)
• Place the peppers in a plastic bag or a large bowl. Close the bag or seal the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and set the peppers aside to steam until they are cool enough to handle. Rub off the charred skin, but do not rinse them with water. De-stem and open up the peppers and slide off the core and seeds.
• Rip the peppers into big strips and layer them in a 1-quart (1L) canning jar. Scatter the garlic slices and basil leaves between each layer and pour some marinade made with the olive oil, vinegar, anchovies, capers and salt on each layer.
• Set the peppers aside to marinate for at least 20 minutes, or until you are ready to serve them. Store with the jar lid on, refrigerated for up to several days. Bring the peppers to room temperature before serving.
