Roasted Pepper And Snow Pea Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat broiler to high or heat charcoal grill. Place peppers under broiler or on grill and cook on all sides until skin is well charred. When cool enough to handle split in half, core and discard charred skin.
• Cut peppers lengthwise into thin strips. There should be about 1 cup. Put strips in salad bowl.
• Bring enough water to a boil to cover peas when added. Add salt to taste. Add peas and let boil 2 minutes. Drain in sieve. Run cold water briefly over peas and drain. Add to salad bowl.
• Cut onion in half, cut each half crosswise into thin slice and add to bowl.

Steps:

Steps:

• Place the peppers directly on the burner of a gas stove over high heat or on a grill. Just as each section turns puffy and black, turn the peppers with tongs to prevent overcooking. (If you don't have a gas stove, place the peppers on a baking pan, and broil in the oven, turning as each side becomes charred.) Spread peppers on a baking sheet and let cool.
• When peppers are cool enough to handle, halve peppers crosswise and remove stems, ribs, and seeds; scrape away charred skin. Slice peppers into 1-inch-thick strips and transfer to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper; toss to combine.
• Using the flat side of a large knife, crush garlic. Sprinkle garlic with salt and continue crushing with the flat side of the knife until a paste is formed. Add to bowl with peppers, along with capers and vinegar. Drizzle with olive oil and toss until well combined. Let salad stand at room temperature until ready to serve.
• To serve salad, season with salt and pepper and drizzle with more oil, if desired. Garnish with olives and basil.

Steps:
