Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 red bell peppers
3 yellow bell peppers
3 orange bell peppers
3 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Italian or French bread, thinly sliced and grilled
1 pound buffalo mozzarella, cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup pure olive oil
2 tablespoons capers, drained
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Heat your grill to high. Brush bell peppers with 2 tablespoons of the oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper; grill the peppers until charred on all sides. Remove from the grill, place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let sit for 10 minutes. Remove the skin from the peppers, brush them with the remaining oil and season with salt and pepper, and place back on the grill and cook until slightly charred on all sides.
  • Slice peppers into quarters or to fit over bread slices. Place a slice of mozzarella over each pepper and drizzle with the Caper-Basil Vinaigrette. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve at room temperature.
  • Whisk together the vinegar, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk in the oil until emulsified. Stir in the capers and basil.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover grilled peppers. I had some leftover from a barbecue the night before, and they were perfect for this recipe.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The grilled peppers are smoky and sweet, the buffalo mozzarella is creamy and tangy, and the caper-basil vinaigrette is bright and herbaceous. It's a perfect summer dish.
