Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 red bell peppers
1 garlic clove, very thinly sliced
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 anchovy fillets, quartered
Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Steps:

  • Roast bell peppers directly over the flame of a gas burner, turning with tongs, until blackened all over. (Alternately, roast peppers under the broiler, turning, until skin has charred.) Transfer peppers to a large bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Let steam about 15 minutes. Using paper towels, rub off skins; remove stems, ribs, and seeds. Cut each pepper lengthwise into 8 strips. Transfer to a small nonreactive (glass or ceramic) bowl.
  • 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.
