Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 bell peppers (any combination of red, yellow or orange), halved, seeded and cored
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1 small garlic clove, minced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, divided
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon sugar
¾ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons pine nuts
2 ounces (a scant ½ cup) crumbled Feta
⅓ cup pitted kalamata olives

Steps:

  • Set an oven rack in the top position and preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place the pepper halves on the prepared baking sheet and broil for 5-10 minutes, rotating the pan once, until well charred. Remove the peppers from the oven and place in a bowl; cover tightly with plastic wrap (so they steam) and let cool until luke warm.

  • Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the pine nuts and cook, stirring frequently, until golden, about 4 minutes. Immediately transfer the nuts to a small bowl to stop the cooking process. (Pay close attention: they go from perfectly golden to burnt quickly.)
  • Transfer the marinated peppers to a serving dish and top with the feta, olives, toasted pine nuts and remaining tablespoon basil (do not toss). Garnish with whole basil leaves if desired.
