This is a healthy, easy and colourful side dish that I tasted, for the first time, at my Portuguese friend’s house in Bamako. My husband, who initially was not a capsicum fan, loves now this salad.
Ingredients
- 3 Bell peppers (any colour)
- 2 gloves of garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 or 3 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Method
Step 1
Wash the peppers, dry them then cut them in two to remove the stem and the seeds.
Step 2
Line a plate with aluminium foil then place the peppers, skin side up and grill them until they are cooked enough and the skins are charred.
Step 3
Remove from the grill and cover the peppers while they are hot with plastic wrap. Keep covered for about 10 to 15 min. This will create a steam and will make it easier to remove the skins.
Step 4
Once the peppers are skinned, cut them in thin pieces, add the salt and pepper then cover with the garlic slices and the olive oil.
Step 5
Serve at room temperature.
