Background
These baked peppers and tomatoes with garlic croutons is my variation on the classic Italian dish peperonata. I just added some croutons and used balsamic vinegar to slightly caramelise the Romano peppers in the oven. You can serve it as a main vegan meal or as a side dish with grilled fish/meat.
Ingredients
- 1 red and 1 orange Romano pepper
- 1 handful cherry tomatoes
- 1 bunch spring onion
- 1 tsp Italian herb mixture
- 1 Pinch of dried chilli flakes
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 handful pitted black olives
- Chopped parsley to serve
- Salt & pepper
- For the croutons:
- 2 pieces of stale sliced bread or 1 thick slice of rustic bread
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Olive oil
- Salt & pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180Β°C.
- Slice the peppers into 1cm thick strips, then chop the spring onion. Cut the tomatoes in half. Scatter them into a baking dish.
- Add the herbs, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, chilli flakes and salt & pepper. Toss well. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until tender.
- Meanwhile, cut the bread into cubes or chunks and toss with the oregano, garlic and about 2 Tbsp olive oil. Scatter them into a tray and bake for 5 minutes or so, until golden and crispy.
- When the baked veggies are lightly caramelised and tender, transfer them to a mixing bowl. Stir in the croutons, olives, parsley. Serve warm.
