Roasted Peppers
Ingredients
- 6 peppers (red, yellow, and orange)
- 2 garlic cloves
- ΒΌ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- pinch of red crushed pepper
- Optional: splash of black truffle oil
Instructions
- Turning on the grill to a medium flame, place peppers on the grill and roast until all sides of the peppers are char'ed. Turning as needed.
- Once all sides of the pepper is char'ed, immediately place them into a bowl with a tight sealing lid.
- Leave peppers to steam in bowl with lid on for at least 2 hours.
- Peel and remove the char'ed skin from each of the peppers.
- Once peeled, slice into the pepper to open it up like a book. Using your knife edge, scrape the inside of the pepper to remove the seeds. When the inside of the pepper is clean, slice it into quarter inch strips and place into a bowl.
- Then add extra virgin olive oil. Optionally, you can also add a splash of black truffle oil. That is how I make mine.
- Then add the finely chopped fresh oregano.
- Then, add 2 peeled garlic cloves, sliced in half. (You will not eat the garlic. It is there only to add flavor.)
- Add salt and pepper and toss everything together. Taste a pepper to see if it needs more salt. Add to taste if needed.
- Let marinate for at least 1 hr at room temp.
- Before serving, remove the garlic cloves.
