Ingredients

Chopped parsley
Garlic - several cloves
Salt and pepper
Good quality olive oil
Lots of bell peppers

Use as many coloured bell peppers as you want - use mostly red, yellow and orange with a few green for colour

Handy Hint

This is delicious with, e.g. roast chicken or just as part of a spread where you help yourself and if you have any left over, which I doubt, will easily last several days in the fridge. Can be made a couple of days in advance and warmed up, or eaten at room temperature.

Method

1. Wash peppers then stick whole (stalk and all) under a hot grill (no oil as it will smell too much) in an oven dish to catch the juices until the skin turns black.
2. Keep turning and put back under the grill until the whole of the peppers' skins are blackened.
3. Remove from grill and cover with kitchen paper while cooling slightly. The peppers will have started to collapse. As soon as you can bear to touch them, pull out the stalk which will take out most of the seeds and begin to peel off the blackened skin. Place in cold water if this proves difficult, to loosen the skin but try to recuperate the juice inside the peppers as it is so delicious. Don't worry if a little skin remains as it is part of the charm.
4. Once all the peppers are peeled and the seeds removed, cut the peppers into slivers, place in a dish with the pepper juices, add some olive oil, sliced garlic cloves, lots of chopped parsley and salt/pepper and toss them with clean hands until completely coated with the oil and juices. Leave covered for a while to absorb the flavours.

This is very simple and pretty but takes a little patience to prepare. I have taken it to a picnic in a plastic container - lovely with crusty bread dipped in the juices. The preparation of these peppers was taught to me by my then boyfriend's mother in a little Italian village outside Rome in the 1970s
