Steps:
- To Roast Peppers
- Using a long-handled fork char the peppers over an open flame, turning them, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the skins are blackened. (Or broil the peppers on the rack of a broiler pan under a preheated broiler about 2 inches from the heat, turning them every 5 minutes, for 15 to 25 minutes, or until the skins are blistered and charred.) Transfer the peppers to a bowl and let them steam, covered, until they are cool enough to handle. Keeping the peppers whole, peel them starting at the blossom end, cut the tops, and discard the seeds and ribs. (Wear rubber gloves when handling chilies.)
- In a bowl or resealable heavy plastic bag combine the mozzarella, the oil, the garlic, the vinegar, the orégano, the basil, the thyme, and salt and pepper to taste and let the cheese marinate for at least 4 hours at room temperature or chilled overnight. Thread a mozzarella cube, an olive half, and a roasted pepper square onto each of the wooden picks and arrange the brochettes on a platter. The hors d'oeuvres may be made 4 hours in advance and kept covered.
ROASTED PEPPERS WITH CAPERS, OLIVES AND ANCHOVY
A fresh sweet pepper roasted at home can be revelatory. The flames of an outdoor grill, stovetop burner or broiler add a touch of smokiness, while helping to remove a pepper's tough skin. To prevent the pepper from overcooking, do not place it in a closed container after roasting, as some suggest - just let it cool uncovered on a plate. The skin will still come off and the flesh won't be mushy. The combination of sweet pepper and salty anchovy is classic. Serve this carpaccio-style, using a whole pepper to cover the plate, or arrange in alternating rows.

Steps:
- Roast the peppers: Place each pepper directly on the flames of a stovetop burner or under the broiler as close to the flames as possible. (Alternatively, place the pepper on a hot charcoal or gas grill.) Turning frequently with tongs, allow the skin to blacken and blister all over; About 10 minutes should suffice. Remove from flames, and leave to rest on a plate until cool enough to handle. Ideally, you should cook all the peppers at once rather than one at a time.
- Cut the roasted pepper in half lengthwise. Using a small knife, scrape away and discard seeds. Turn over and scrape away the blackened skin. Wipe with a paper towel, if necessary. Do not rinse - a little char is fine. Leave the pepper halves in one piece or cut into strips 3/4-inch wide. Place in a small bowl, toss with salt and pepper, red-pepper flakes, garlic and a little olive oil. Leave to marinate at least 10 minutes.
- Lay pepper halves or strips flat on a plate and add 3 or 4 anchovy fillets per serving. Garnish with a few capers and olives. Sprinkle with a little more salt and olive oil, and scatter basil leaves over the top.

Steps:
- Whisk first 6 ingredients in large bowl to blend. Add vegetables and olives. Toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before serving.)
- Transfer mixture to bowl and serve.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe peppers. Look for peppers that are firm and brightly colored, with no blemishes.
- To prevent the peppers from burning, roast them at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help them to char slightly on the outside while remaining tender on the inside.
- If you don't have a grill, you can also roast the peppers in the oven. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and roast the peppers for 20-25 minutes, or until they are charred and tender.
- Once the peppers are roasted, let them cool slightly before handling them. Then, remove the stems and seeds and cut the peppers into strips or cubes.
- Marinate the peppers in a mixture of olive oil, vinegar, herbs, and spices for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help to infuse the peppers with flavor.
- Marinated roasted peppers are a great addition to salads, sandwiches, wraps, and pasta dishes. They can also be used as a topping for pizzas and grilled meats.
Conclusion:
Marinated roasted peppers are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. With their smoky, slightly sweet flavor, they are a perfect addition to any meal. Whether you are looking for a healthy snack or a flavorful side dish, marinated roasted peppers are sure to please.
