- Ingredients
- 3 red Bell pepper
- 2 Zucchini
- 3 Tomatoes
- 2 Tbsps Caper
- green Olives ((as desired, pitted and halved)
- olive oil (cold pressed, good quality)
- 3 handfuls fresh Basil
- 1 finely chopped garlic clove
- salt
- freshly ground peppers
Preparation
1.
Place the bell peppers in a hot oven. When their skins begin to bubble, remove and peel them. Cut in half, remove the seeds and ribs and cut into thick strips.
Rinse and blanch the tomatoes, peel and halve them, remove the seeds and cut into wedges. Drain the capers and halve them. Rinse the zucchini and cut into thin slices. Rinse the basil leaves and shake dry.
2.
In a large bowl, combine the bell peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, basil leaves, capers, garlic, olives and 5 tablespoons of olive oil (do not be frugal with the oil, because it is the main flavor component). Mix everything together well and season with salt and pepper.
Transfer to small bowls and serve as an appetizer and with crusty white bread if desired.
