Instructions
Cut the peppers in half and take out the seeds; leave the stalks on for looks and to help the peppers stay in shape. Place the peppers in a shallow roasting tin, cut side up.
Skin the tomatoes by putting them in a bowl of boiling water then take the skin off after about a minute. Cut them into quarters and put 3-4 quarters in each pepper.
Peel a few garlic cloves and slice them very thinly. Put the slices on top of the tomatoes along with 1-2 anchovies.
Drizzle each pepper with olive oil and grind some black pepper over.
Roast at 180C or gas mark 4 for about 40-50 minutes.
Serve with all the juices poured over. Breathe garlic over all your friends, mmm mmmmm, so worth it!
The ones in the piccy were cooked by Sally’s friend, Mr Williams and washed down with some lovely red wine (antioxidants don’t ya know).
