Categories     Salads

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.
  • Peel the skin from the peppers (do not rinse under water) and cut into ¾-inch strips. Place back in the bowl; add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, 2 tablespoons of the basil, oregano, sugar, salt and pepper. Refrigerate for at least one hour or overnight.
  • 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.

BASIL SALSA



Basil Salsa image

Simple salsa without the dreaded weed, Cilantro. Raw onions are a migraine trigger for me so I "sweat" the onions to convert to a product I can enjoy (what makes you cry gives me a heck of a headache). I've also roasted the tomatoes with the peppers and garlic for a different flavor. The addition of ripe mango can make a very refreshing version of this recipe. I have also pureed the peels and added them in for the extra nutritional kick.

Yield Makes 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 to 4 fresh jalapenos, different colors if possible
2 fresh Anaheim, Yellow Wax, or guero peppers
2 bell peppers; 1 red and 1 yellow or orange
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
1 small red onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice to yield 1/2 cup
3 radishes, trimmed and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped, plus extra for garnish
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Transfer to large bowl, cover tightly with plastic, and let steam until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Peel and seed peppers. Reserve liquid collected in bowl. Cut jalapenos into half-inch pieces, Anaheims and bells into one-inch pieces. Transfer peppers and any reserved juices to small bowl.
