Roasted Peppers With Parsley And Black Olives Recipes

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.

ROASTED PEPPERS WITH PINE NUTS AND PARSLEY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack at about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Cut the peppers in half from top to bottom; remove the stem, seeds, and ribs, then place the peppers cut sides down onto the prepared baking sheet. Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, about 10 minutes. Place the blackened peppers into a bowl, and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Allow the peppers to steam as they cool, about 20 minutes. Once cool, remove the skins and discard.
• Toast the pine nuts in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, swirling the pine nuts in the skillet until they turn a light tan color and have a nutty fragrance, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and pour into a small bowl to prevent them from overcooking.
• Slice the roasted peppers into strips, and arrange decoratively onto a serving platter, alternating red and yellow strips. Sprinkle the peppers with toasted pine nuts, raisins, garlic, and parsley, drizzle with olive oil, and season to taste with salt and black pepper.

ROASTED PEPPERS IN OIL (PEPERONI ARROSTITI SOTTO OLIO)

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Reduce grill heat to medium.
• Grill whole peppers until charred on all sides, turning about every 5 minutes. Place charred peppers in a plastic food storage bag and tie shut. Allow peppers to cool in bag.
• Combine olive oil, garlic, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper in a 1-pint glass jar (or larger, depending on size of peppers).
• Remove cooled peppers from bag and scrape off charred skins. Cut peppers in half and remove seeds and stems. Slice peppers into long strips and place in oil mixture. Mix well, assuring peppers are covered in oil. Serve, storing leftover peppers in refrigerator for up to 5 days.

ROASTED PEPPERS WITH PARSLEY AND BLACK OLIVES

Steps:

• Arrange the peppers on a grill rack above a charcoal fire, on wire racks positioned over the burners of a gas or electric stove, 2 to 3 inches under a preheated broiler, or in an oven preheated to 400°F. Roast them until they are charred all over and tender inside, turning them frequently to ensure that they blacken evenly, about 30 minutes in the oven, but less time by the other methods. When the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel off the skins using your fingertips, cut the peppers in half, and remove and discard the stems, ribs, and seeds. (Do not do this under running water; it will wash away some of the delicious smoky flavor.)
• Cut the roasted, peeled, and seeded peppers into long strips about 3/4 inch wide. Arrange them on a plate. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and strew with olives and parsley. Serve at room temperature.

PARSLEY PESTO WITH ROASTED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Put the pine nuts in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Add the parsley, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt and pulse until finely chopped. Add the Parmesan and pulse to combine. With the motor running, slowly stream in the olive oil and process until combined. Transfer to a bowl and top with the roasted peppers.

ROASTED PEPPERS IN OLIVE OIL

Steps:

• Place the peppers directly onto the burners of a gas stove. Cook the peppers, turning frequently, until they are charred on all sides. Put the peppers into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let them steam for about 15 minutes. (If you do not have a gas stove preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Coat the peppers with some olive oil and place them on a baking sheet. Cook the peppers until they are soft and have collapsed, about 1 hour. Set the peppers aside until they are cool enough to handle.)
• Peel, stem, and seed the peppers; cut them into wide strips. Place the warm pepper strips into a shallow serving dish. Top with the oregano, garlic, olive oil, and vinegar. Season them with salt and pepper and mix them gently to combine the flavors. Let them sit to cool and serve at room temperature.

ROAST PEPPERS WITH 'JAMMY' EGGS & ALMOND & PARSLEY DRESSING

Steps:

• Make the dressing by bashing the almonds, parsley, garlic and some seasoning together using a pestle and mortar. You want to create a slightly chunky mixture. Stir in the vinegar and the olive oil, bashing gently as you go. Taste for seasoning, bearing in mind that the dressing can be quite strong as you are pouring it over eggs.
• Boil a pan of water, add the eggs and cook for 7-8 mins. This will give you what some people call 'jammy' eggs - they are only just firm enough to be considered hard-boiled, and the very centre is still a little soft. Put the eggs in cold water, then peel them as soon as they're warm enough to handle. Halve the eggs and arrange them on a serving plate. Season, then drape the peppers around the eggs and spoon the dressing over the top. Eat with some good crusty bread, while the eggs are still warm.

PASTA WITH BROCCOLI, ROASTED PEPPERS, AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Heat a pot of salted water to cook the pasta, In a large skillet, heat the olive oil, then add the garlic and saute over medium-low for a minute, then add the pepper strips( and any juices), lemon juice, olives, and a pinch of salt, and a couple of grinds of pepper. Shut burner off until pasta is nearly cooked.
• Cook the pasta in the salted water according to package directions, adding the broccoli pieces about two minutes before the pasta is done. Drain the pasta and broccoli, reserving 1/4 cup of water; add the reserved water to the skillet. Add the drained pasta and broccoli to the skillet with the fresh herbs and toss mixture over medium heat for 30 seconds or so to finish cooking.

ROAST PEPPERS WITH FETA CHEESE AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Place peppers on baking tin under broiler about 2 inches from heat. Roast, turning peppers as skins blacken until charred on all sides (10 to 15 minutes). Peel under cold running water.
• Remove stems, seeds and cut into 1 1/2 inch wide strips.
• Leave in colander to drain.
• Combine drained peppers with all ingredients but cheese. Marinate several hours.
• Remove the garlic clove and add the Feta cheese before serving.
