Time 1h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 large red or yellow bell peppers, preferably Holland
2 tablespoons good olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons drained capers
1 large ciabatta bread, halved horizontally

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
2 garlic cloves, halved lengthwise
Few sprigs of basil
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat broiler, with rack 6 inches from heat. Cut peppers in half through the stem; discard stems, ribs, and seeds. Place peppers cut side down on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Roast peppers under the broiler until skins are charred, rotating baking sheet occasionally to cook evenly, about 10 minutes. Transfer peppers to a bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Let steam until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes.
  • Using a paper towel, rub peppers to remove blackened skin, and discard. Cut peppers into strips, and place in a clean bowl. Pour over strips any accumulated juice from other bowl. Add oil, vinegar, garlic, and basil; season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This is key to making a great sandwich. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have no blemishes.
  • Use fresh basil. Fresh basil adds a delicious, aromatic flavor to the sandwich. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but it won't be as flavorful.
  • Roast the red peppers. Roasting the red peppers gives them a slightly smoky flavor that complements the other ingredients in the sandwich.
  • Use a good quality bread. A sturdy bread will hold up to the sandwich filling and won't get soggy. A baguette or ciabatta roll are both good choices.
  • Spread the mayonnaise evenly on the bread. This will help to keep the sandwich moist and prevent the bread from getting soggy.

Conclusion:

Basil red pepper sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make lunch or dinner option. They're perfect for picnics, potlucks, or just a quick meal at home. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a sandwich that is both flavorful and satisfying. So next time you're looking for a tasty and healthy sandwich, give this recipe a try!
