Slow Roasted Peppers

These slow roasted peppers are super tasty and can easily be made vegetarian by leaving out the anchovies.

The most important things here are to get your hands on some lovely deep red tomatoes and to leave the peppers to cook for long enough to the point where they’re completely tender. This is not one to rush.

Try serving these slow roasted peppers as a side to our roasted pork chop or chipotle jambalya recipe.
