Ingredients

6 bell peppers, preferably a combination of red and yellow
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
7 anchovy fillets, coarsely chopped (about 1 tablespoon packed)
1 cup pitted black oil-cured olives
2 tablespoons small capers, drained
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
1/4 teaspoon peperoncino flakes, or to taste
1 plump garlic clove, peeled and thinly sliced

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 350.
2

Rub the peppers all over with 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3

Roast for 30 minutes or so, turning the peppers occasionally, until their skins are wrinkled and slightly charred.
4

Let the peppers cool completely.
5

Slice them in half through the stem end, discard the stem, peel off the skin, and scrape out the seeds.
6

Slice the halves into 1-inch strips, and lay them in a sieve to drain and dry.
7

Put the drained peppers in a large bowl, and scatter on top the chopped anchovies, olives, capers, parsley, peperoncino, and garlic.
8

Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and drizzle over it the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil.
9

Tumble and toss to coat everything well.
10

Let the salad sit, so the flavors blend, for 15 minutes (or longer) before serving.
11

Serve family-style on a platter of sliced meats, or on individual plates as an appetizer salad or luncheon dish (with such additions as hard-cooked eggs, potatoes, or mozzarella).
12

The salad will keep in the refrigerator for several days; let it come to room temperature before serving.
