Roasted Red Peppers With Anchovy Spiked Olive Oil Food

ROASTED RED PEPPERS WITH ANCHOVIES

Steps:

• Roast bell peppers directly over the flame of a gas burner, turning with tongs, until blackened all over. (Alternately, roast peppers under the broiler, turning, until skin has charred.) Transfer peppers to a large bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Let steam about 15 minutes. Using paper towels, rub off skins; remove stems, ribs, and seeds. Cut each pepper lengthwise into 8 strips. Transfer to a small nonreactive (glass or ceramic) bowl.
• Add garlic and 1 tablespoon oil to peppers; let marinate at least 1 hour (or up to 2 days in the refrigerator, covered tightly).
• To serve, arrange peppers on a platter, and top each strip with an anchovy quarter. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes, if desired, and drizzle with remaining teaspoon oil, dividing evenly.

ROASTED PEPPERS WITH CAPERS, OLIVES AND ANCHOVY

Steps:

• Roast the peppers: Place each pepper directly on the flames of a stovetop burner or under the broiler as close to the flames as possible. (Alternatively, place the pepper on a hot charcoal or gas grill.) Turning frequently with tongs, allow the skin to blacken and blister all over; About 10 minutes should suffice. Remove from flames, and leave to rest on a plate until cool enough to handle. Ideally, you should cook all the peppers at once rather than one at a time.
• Cut the roasted pepper in half lengthwise. Using a small knife, scrape away and discard seeds. Turn over and scrape away the blackened skin. Wipe with a paper towel, if necessary. Do not rinse - a little char is fine. Leave the pepper halves in one piece or cut into strips 3/4-inch wide. Place in a small bowl, toss with salt and pepper, red-pepper flakes, garlic and a little olive oil. Leave to marinate at least 10 minutes.
• Lay pepper halves or strips flat on a plate and add 3 or 4 anchovy fillets per serving. Garnish with a few capers and olives. Sprinkle with a little more salt and olive oil, and scatter basil leaves over the top.
