Ingredients
4 bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
2 garlic cloves, halved lengthwise
Few sprigs of basil
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
Heat broiler, with rack 6 inches from heat. Cut peppers in half through the stem; discard stems, ribs, and seeds. Place peppers cut side down on a rimmed baking sheet.
Roast peppers under the broiler until skins are charred, rotating baking sheet occasionally to cook evenly, about 10 minutes. Transfer peppers to a bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Let steam until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes.
Using a paper towel, rub peppers to remove blackened skin, and discard. Cut peppers into strips, and place in a clean bowl. Pour over strips any accumulated juice from other bowl. Add oil, vinegar, garlic, and basil; season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Serve warm or at room temperature.
