I saw this recipe on Jamie at Home. Looked delish, especially served on the ciabatta with the mozarella ball and rocket. Can't wait to try it. Thanks Jamie!
Ingredients
1 ball of mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
2 large peppers (i used red and orange)
1 large clove of garlic, thinly sliced
1 small anchovy, rinsed,boned and mashed very finely
approx 10 basil leaves
A little olive oil (about 3tbsp)
1 tbsp balsamico
A pinch of ground chillies
Method
1. First, prepare the peppers. Place them in a baking dish and bake in a hot oven (220C) for about 30mins, or until the skin has blackened and the pepper is soft to the touch.
2. Take them out of the oven and put them straight into a small plastic food bag and seal tightly. Let them rest for about 5 mins, then remove from the bag and quickly peel of the skin (be careful, they will still be quite hot).
3. Remove the seeds then cut the peppers into long strips and set aside for now.
4. Mix together the mashed anchovy, olive oil and balsamico, adding a small pinch of chilli powder . You can add a little salt if you wish but I find it salty enough with the anchovy.
5. Place the mozzarella and the pepper strips in a medium sized dish (you can layer them or just mix them together if you prefer).
6. Sprinkle with the garlic slices and spoon over the dressing.
7. Top with the whole basil leaves then cover and place in the fridge, if possible, to allow the flavours to blend a little.
8. Serve as part of an antipasti platter or as a light meal, with some crusty bread (will serve approx 3 people as a light meal)
