Roast capsicum with oregano & anchovies
13 May 2011

Serves: 2

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 200g green beans blanched in boiling water for 3 minutes
  • 1 yellow capsicum, quartered & deseeded
  • 125ml extra virgin olive oil
  • handful fresh oregano leaves
  • 4 anchovies fillets, roughly chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp capers, drained, roughly chopped

Instructions

Preheat a grill on high.

Place the capsicum pieces, skin-side up, under preheated grill and cook for 8-10 minutes or until charred and blistered. Transfer to a heatproof bowl, cover with a plate or foil and set aside for 10 minutes (this helps lift the skin). Peel the skin from the capsicum pieces and cut the flesh into 1cm-thick slices.

Place the capsicum slices, oil, oregano, anchovies, beans, garlic and capers in a large serving bowl. Gently toss until combined. Transfer to an airtight container and place in the fridge for 1 hour to develop the flavours.
