This recipe is adapted from a great recipe by Terence Conran - which reminds me I should add him to my list of heroes.......
It was very good as a starter for a number of people as you make it ahead and serve at room temperature.
The recipe for 4 people as a starter is:-
4 red peppers, halved and deseeded
4 cloves garlic
8 cherry tomatoes
8 anchovy fillets (leave out for vegetarian)
sea salt
olive oil
1 Preheat the oven to 150c / gas 2
2 Place the halved peppers on a baking tray
3 Slice the garlic finely and share one clove between each 'pair' of pepper halves
4 Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and place between 3 and four halves in each half of pepper
5 Place in the oven and cook for approximately 1 hour - you are looking for the peppers to 'collapse' and take on some colour around the edges.
6 Remove from the oven and leave to cool.
I served on a plate with a few leaves of rocket lightly dressed, and a couple of slices of mozzarella - they both provide a great contract to the flavour of the roasted peppers and tomatoes, and it looks great on the plate!!
