These delicious Marinated Capsicums are simple to make and can be used in many ways. We begin with homemade Roasted Capsicums that we marinate in garlic, extra virgin olive oil, dried chilli flakes, dried oregano, capers, anchovies, Kalamata olives and fresh basil. The flavours of the capsicums are enhanced as they take on the bright Mediterranean flavours.
Why You'll Love This Recipe:
Roasting the capsicums enhances their flavour, and makes the flesh tender and sweet.
By marinating the roasted peppers, we have created flavour upon flavour, and a new dish that can be used in many ways.
You can make the Marinated Capsicums ahead of time. In fact, it is an advantage, as the flavours increase as they develop and amalgamate.
This dish is naturally gluten and dairy-free. If you prefer to omit the anchovies, it is also vegan.
It is delicious as an appetiser or side dish.
