Peperoni Ammollicati (Peppers with Breadcrumbs)

Ingredients

• 2 red bell peppers
• 1 yellow bell pepper
• 1 garlic clove (whole)
• 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1.5 oz (40g) white crusty bread
• 1 small handful fresh parsley (finely chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Pecorino cheese (grated)
• 1 tablespoon capers
• 1/4 teaspoon oregano
• Salt

Steps

1. 1

   Blitz the bread into fine crumbs then toast it in a dry pan on a low heat until slightly golden. Set aside to cool.

2. 2

   Mix the breadcrumbs with the pecorino and oregano, set aside.

3. 3

   Add olive to pan and saute the whole garlic clove until starting to turn golden.

4. 4

   Cut the peppers into strips and sauté in olive oil until soft, sprinkle them with salt to help them soften.

5. 5

   Once softened, add the capers and stir for a few seconds then add 4-5 tablespoons of the breadcrumb mixture (you can add more to taste). Stir so the breadcrumbs soak up the oils. Check for seasoning and add salt as needed then serve warm or at room temperature.
