Preparing the Grilled Peppers
Method
Step 1
Trim the tops of the stalks of the peppers (so they look good when you serve them)
Step 2
Place the peppers on high heat on a barbecue-grill; place the lid on top, leaving it slightly ajar
Step 3
Grill the peppers for 1 -2 minutes
Step 4
Turn the peppers over and leave them for 1-2 minutes more
Step 5
Brown sear lines will begin to appear on the peppers
Step 6
Continue to turn the peppers frequently so as not to burn them, replacing the barbecue lid and leaving it ajar after each turn
Step 7
Once all sides of the peppers are evenly browned with sear lines, switch off the barbecue, place the lid completely over the barbecue and leave the peppers to smoke/steam for about 8-10 minutes
Serving the Grilled Peppers
Step 1
Stir the dressing well to ensure the salt is mixed through evenly
Step 2
Place 5-6 peppers, side-by-side, in a large, shallow serving bowl and spoon half of the dressing mixture on top
Step 3
Place the remaining peppers on top, again side-by-side, and pour the remaining dressing over these peppers
Step 4
Grilled peppers are a delicious accompaniment to any meal with barbecued meats. We add them to our homemade souvlakia and they really add an amazing texture and flavour burst with the sweetness of the pepper; and the garlic, oregano and EVOO of the dressing !
