Roasted capsicum salad
Roasted capsicum salad
I have made these roasted capsicums probably more than any other recipe in this book, mostly because I love how the flavours sink into each other with that low, slow cooking time. But there’s also a beautiful balance of sweetness from the capsicum, deep saltiness from the anchovies and tang from the vinegar. Plus, there’s the fact that you can make this early in the day and the flavour just improves from sitting on the bench for a few hours. Finally, I love how when you spread the roasted capsicums and tomatoes over rocket or other greens, it makes the most wonderful salad.
