Instructions
1
Preheat your grill to high heat.
2
Place the washed bell peppers directly on the grill grate. Grill them for about 20 minutes, turning occasionally until the skins are charred, darkened, and blistered. This process infuses them with a delicious smoky flavor.
3
Once grilled, carefully remove the peppers from the grill and place them in a paper bag. Fold the top over twice to seal it shut, trapping in the steam. Let them sit for about 10-15 minutes; this will make peeling easier.
4
In a separate bowl, combine minced garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, black pepper, and minced rosemary. Shake well to emulsify the dressing.
5
After the peppers have cooled, carefully peel off the skins. Remove the stems and seeds, and rinse under cold water if needed to assist in peeling. Reserve any juices that accumulate with the peppers.
6
Slice the peeled peppers into strips and toss them in the prepared dressing. Make sure to incorporate any reserved juice for added flavor.
7
Serve immediately or let them marinate for a few hours to enhance the taste. Enjoy as a side dish or use them in your favorite recipes!
