ROASTED PEPPERS WITH CAPERS, OLIVES AND ANCHOVY



Roasted Peppers With Capers, Olives and Anchovy image

A fresh sweet pepper roasted at home can be revelatory. The flames of an outdoor grill, stovetop burner or broiler add a touch of smokiness, while helping to remove a pepper's tough skin. To prevent the pepper from overcooking, do not place it in a closed container after roasting, as some suggest - just let it cool uncovered on a plate. The skin will still come off and the flesh won't be mushy. The combination of sweet pepper and salty anchovy is classic. Serve this carpaccio-style, using a whole pepper to cover the plate, or arrange in alternating rows.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 red bell or other large sweet peppers, such as Corno di Toro
Kosher salt and black pepper
Pinch of red-pepper flakes
1 small garlic clove, grated
Extra-virgin olive oil
12 anchovy fillets, rinsed and blotted
1 teaspoon capers
12 black olives
Basil leaves, for garnish

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.

Anchovy and Garlic Toast image

With just a few high-quality ingredients and less than 10 minutes, you can make this appetizer. "Delicious" doesn't even begin to describe this: If I'm starting with this, then I know the rest of the meal will knock your socks off.

Provided by Antonia Lofaso

Categories     appetizer

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large baguette (12 inches), halved crosswise, then lengthwise
1 garlic clove
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
5 tablespoons high-quality, unsalted grass-fed butter, at room temperature
24 olive oil-packed anchovies, cut in half crosswise on a bias, preferably Cetara
Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon, for serving
2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Put the halved baguette on a baking sheet. Rub the cut sides with the garlic clove, then drizzle with the olive oil and spread the butter on evenly.
  • Place the cut anchovies evenly on the bread and broil until brown and bubbly, about 4 minutes. Cut into 12 even pieces, crunch some salt over the top and sprinkle with chopped parsley.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and flavorful tomatoes: Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a slight give when you gently squeeze them.
  • Roast the tomatoes properly: Roasting intensifies the tomatoes' sweetness and flavor. Make sure to roast them until they are slightly charred and caramelized.
  • Use good quality bread: The bread is an important part of this dish, so make sure to use a hearty and flavorful bread that can stand up to the toppings.
  • Don't skimp on the anchovies: Anchovies add a salty and savory flavor to the toasts. If you're not a fan of anchovies, you can substitute another salty fish, such as sardines or mackerel.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, add a bright and herbaceous flavor to the toasts.

Conclusion:

Anchovy fennel toasts with roasted red peppers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. The combination of salty anchovies, sweet roasted peppers, and creamy goat cheese is simply irresistible. These toasts are perfect for a party or potluck, or for a quick and easy meal.
