Ingredients

6 bell peppers, mixed colours
600 g (20 oz) Italian plum tomatoes, peeled, seeded and sliced
2 red onions, sliced thinly
2 cloves garlic, sliced thinly
60 ml (4 tbsp) olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
24 leaves basil, shredded
200 g (7 oz) Provolone cheese, grated

 

Directions

  1. In a saucepan, blanch the whole peppers in boiling water for 5 minutes. Transfer the peppers to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap until they are cool enough to handle.
  2. Peel and seed the peppers, using a sharp paring knife, if necessary. Slice into strips and set aside.
  3. Preheat the broiler and place a rack on the uppermost level.
  4. In a large skillet, wilt the tomatoes, pepper strips, onions and garlic in the oil. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a baking dish. Add the basil leaves and combine.
  5. Sprinkle with the cheese and place under the broiler until the cheese is slightly melted.
  6. Serve hot.
