Yield 4 8 oz. jars

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces green peppers, destemmed, deseeded, cut in half lengthwise
8 ounces orange bell peppers, destemmed, deseeded, cut in half lengthwise
8 ounces red peppers, destemmed, deseeded, cut in half lengthwise
8 ounces yellow peppers, destemmed, deseeded, cut in half lengthwise
coarse salt (or kosher salt)
12 whole black peppercorns
8 garlic cloves, peeled
4 sprigs fresh basil
4 sprigs fresh oregano (or marjoram)

  • Using a towel, wipe the salt from the peppers, and set aside.
  • Sterilize four 8 oz. jars and their lids by boiling them in a large pot of water for about 15 minutes. Using tongs, remove the jars and lids from the water, and set them on a dry surface.
  • In each jar, place 3 peppercorns, 2 cloves garlic, 1 sprig of basil, and 1 sprig of oregano or marjoram. Evenly divide the pepper strips among the jars and completely cover with olive oil. Wipe clean the rims of the jars and seal with their lids. Label and date the jars.
  • Keep in a cool place or in the refrigerator for several months.
  • Serve as part of an antipasto platter, add to salads or sandwiches, and the oil can also be used to flavor dressings or drizzle on bread.
