Directions

10 mins to prep

15 mins to cook

  1. Step 1

    Place the capsicums on the flame until charred. Take off the heat and allow to cool. Remove the charred flesh, an easy way to do this is to dip the capsicums into cold water and rub them to remove the char.

  2. Step 2

    Cut the capsicums into strips, or your desired shape, and place into sterilised jar.

  3. Step 3

    Fill with extra virgin olive oil, and add your herbs and chilli.

  4. Step 4

    Place on lid and keep in the fridge for up to a month. These preserved capsicums are perfect for pizzas, toasties and salads!
