Steps:
- Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Put the peppers into a large baking dish, toss with a little of the oil from the anchovy can, then turn cut-side up. Roast for 40 mins, until soft but not collapsed.
- Slice 8 of the anchovies along their length. Put 2 halves of tomato, several garlic slices, a few little rosemary sprigs and two pieces of anchovy into the hollow of each pepper. Drizzle over the olive oil, then roast again for 30 mins until the tomatoes are soft and the peppers are filled with pools of tasty juice. Leave to cool and serve warm or at room temperature.

ROASTED PEPPERS WITH CAPERS, OLIVES AND ANCHOVY
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.

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.

ESCALIVADA CON ANCHOAS (ROASTED RED PEPPERS AND EGGPLANT WITH ANCHOVIES)
Escalivada is a classic Catalan dish of simply dressed roasted peppers, eggplants and other vegetables. This escalivada makes an incredibly simple and elegant first course or side dish. The dish tastes best when the vegetables are roasted on the grill, and the salty oily anchovies are a beautiful contrast to the earthy roasted vegetables. Since there are not many components to this dish, the quality of each ingredient is paramount to the final dish. Serve this escalivada with grilled crusty bread drizzled with olive oil and a few salty black olives.

Steps:
- Preheat your grill or broiler to high heat.
- Roast the eggplants and red bell peppers, whole, as close as possible to the heat source, turning and rotating each piece with kitchen tongs, to achieve an evenly charred exterior. The skin on the eggplants should get a dark toasted color and the bell peppers should be charred with papery layer of black. Put the roasted vegetables in a glass bowl, cover with a kitchen towel and set aside to cool.
- Once the reserved vegetables are cool enough to handle, peel both the peppers and eggplants. Slice the eggplants into long strips. De-seed the peppers and slice them into long strips.
- Combine the peppers and eggplants in a bowl and add 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil, salt and garlic, if using. Be careful to not over-season with salt because the anchovies are also very salty. Let stand for a minimum of 30 minutes.
- Serve in individual plates or on a platter, family-style. Lay the anchovies across the top of the dish. Finish the dish with a final drizzle of olive oil, a small splash of sherry vinegar and a light sprinkling of sea salt, if using. Serve with grilled crusty bread and some black olives.

- Add garlic and 1 tablespoon oil to peppers; let marinate at least 1 hour (or up to 2 days in the refrigerator, covered tightly).
- To serve, arrange peppers on a platter, and top each strip with an anchovy quarter. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes, if desired, and drizzle with remaining teaspoon oil, dividing evenly.

ANCHOVY FENNEL TOASTS WITH ROASTED RED PEPPERS
Steps:
- Roast bell peppers on racks of gas burners over high heat, turning with tongs, until skins are blackened, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap, then let steam, covered, about 20 minutes.
- When peppers are cool enough to handle, peel, then halve lengthwise, discarding stems and seeds. Cut peppers lengthwise into 3/4-inch-wide strips.
- Toast fennel seeds in a dry small heavy skillet over moderately low heat, shaking skillet frequently, until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes, then transfer to a bowl and cool. Finely grind fennel seeds in grinder, then stir into butter along with anchovies, lemon juice, and pepper until combined well.
- Preheat broiler.
- Broil baguette slices in a large shallow baking pan (18 by 12 inches) 3 to 4 inches from heat until golden, about 1 minute. Turn slices over and spread generously with anchovy butter. Broil toasts until butter is golden and bubbling, about 1 minute, then transfer to a platter. Top with bell pepper strips.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm red bell peppers. Look for peppers that are deep red in color and have smooth, unblemished skin.
- Roast the peppers until they are slightly charred. This will help to bring out their flavor and sweetness.
- Remove the seeds and ribs from the peppers. This will make them easier to eat and will help to prevent the dish from becoming too bitter.
- Anchovies add a salty, savory flavor to the dish. If you don't like anchovies, you can omit them or substitute another salty ingredient, such as capers or olives.
- Serve the roasted red peppers with anchovies as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. They are also delicious added to salads, sandwiches, and wraps.
Conclusion:
Roasted red peppers with anchovies is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for any occasion. The peppers are roasted until they are slightly charred, which brings out their flavor and sweetness. The anchovies add a salty, savory flavor that complements the peppers perfectly. This dish is easy to make and can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. It is also a great addition to salads, sandwiches, and wraps.
