“soaked” peppers

INGREDIENTS

• 1 red pepper;
• 1 yellow pepper;
• Extra virgin olive oil to taste;
• 150 g of stale bread;
• Oregano, basil to taste;
• Salt, pepper to taste;
• 1 clove of garlic.

STEP

1. First of all, let’s wash the peppers thoroughly;
2. Cut in half, remove the stalk and white filaments;
3. After that cut them into thin strips;
4. Pour the peppers that we have cut into a bowl, add oil, salt, pepper and chopped garlic (you can also add black olives and capers if you like);
5. Blend the bread with the mincer, pour it into the bowl (set aside a small amount, less than half);
6. Add some of the blended bread to the bowl of peppers, add the oregano and basil;
7. Mix (I do it with my hands) to combine all the ingredients well;
8. Take a baking tray, cover with baking paper;
9. Pour in our pepper mixture;
10. Level with a spoon, sprinkle with the remaining breadcrumbs and a drizzle of oil;
11. Cook (in a preheated oven) at 180 degrees for 20 minutes (the last 5 minutes only in grill mode to have our peppers with a crunchy crumb).
12. Once cooked, remove the peppers from the oven, transfer them to a nice serving dish, add a few basil leaves and serve… they are FABULOUS!
