Equipment

Ingredients

4 red or yellow capsicums
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, oregano or marjoram, coarsely chopped
Salt and pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 210°C.
Cut the capsicums in half and remove the stem, core and seeds. Place the capsicum halves, cut side down, onto a large baking tray, making sure they’re not overlapping, and roast until most of the skin has charred and blistered and the flesh is knife tender, around 30-40 minutes. If your oven has hot spots, make sure to rotate the baking tray halfway through cooking.
4 red or yellow capsicums
Quickly transfer the capsicums from the backing tray onto a chopping board, in a pile. Cover with a large bowl and allow to steam as they cool – this helps the skin lift from the flesh, making them easier to peel.
Once cool enough to handle – but still warm (around 10-15 minutes) – peel off the skin. DO NOT WASH AWAY ANY BROWN SPOTS, that’s just extra charred and smoky flavour.
Tear the capsicums into strips and place them in a serving bowl. Add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, fresh herbs and season with salt and pepper before mixing well.
2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, oregano or marjoram, Salt and pepper
