Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
- Place the whole peppers on a sheet pan and place in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes, until the skins are completely wrinkled and the peppers are charred, turning them twice during roasting. Remove the pan from the oven and immediately cover it tightly with aluminum foil. Set aside for 30 minutes, or until the peppers are cool enough to handle.
- Meanwhile, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Remove the stem from each pepper and cut them in quarters. Remove the peels and seeds and place the peppers in a bowl along with any juices that have collected. Discard the stems, peels, and seeds. Pour the oil and vinegar mixture over the peppers. Stir in the capers. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend.
- To assemble the sandwiches, spread the bottom half of the loaf with the goat cheese. Add a layer of peppers and then a layer of basil leaves. Separate the onions into rings and spread out on top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover with the top half of the ciabatta and cut into individual servings.

GRILLED GOAT CHEESE, ROASTED PEPPER, AND GREENS SANDWICH
The title of this recipe was getting very long, so I left the last option - roasted artichoke hearts - out of it. I included them in my sandwich because I had some shriveling artichokes in my produce bin (along with the shriveling red pepper I used) and it didn't take very long to trim and roast them. But it's not a must; the peppers and goat cheese with the greens are what really stand out. I stir everything together and spread it on the bread. It's always a good idea to have a roasted pepper on hand for quick dinners like this.

Steps:
- Dice roasted red pepper small and toss with salt, pepper and a teaspoon of olive oil. Measure out 1/4 cup, tightly packed.
- If including artichoke hearts in the mix, preheat oven or toaster oven to 425 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with parchment and spread the artichoke hearts over the pan in a single layer. Roast for 10 minutes and turn over the pieces. Return to oven and roast for another 10 minutes, until browned and tender. Remove from heat and cut in small dice.
- Mash goat cheese in a bowl and add peppers, chopped greens, and diced roasted artichoke hearts if using. Mash together.
- If desired, rub 1 slice of bread with a cut clove of garlic, then purée garlic and stir into the goat cheese mixture. Spread goat cheese mixture over the bread. Top with the other slice of bread (rub it with garlic if desired) and press down firmly. Drizzle remaining olive oil over top slice of bread.
- Toast in toaster oven 3 to 4 minutes, until cheese has melted. Remove from oven, press down firmly, cut in half and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right peppers: For this recipe, you'll need bell peppers that are firm and have smooth skin. Avoid peppers that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Roast the peppers until they're slightly charred: This will give them a smoky flavor and make them easier to peel.
- Use a variety of cheeses: Goat cheese is a classic choice for this salad, but you can also use feta, mozzarella, or Parmesan. For a vegan alternative, try using crumbled tofu.
- Add some herbs: Fresh herbs like basil, oregano, or thyme will add a pop of flavor to the salad.
- Drizzle with a flavorful dressing: A simple vinaigrette is a great option, but you can also use a store-bought dressing if you're short on time.
