Ingredients
- 2–3 large long red sweet peppers — they are less watery, sweeter, and more intensely flavored than regular bell peppers
- 100 g tuna in olive oil, drained slightly
- 1–2 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 4–6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Sea salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Ciabatta or other crusty rustic bread, for serving
Method
- Grill or roast the peppers until blackened all over. Cover the hot peppers for 10–15 minutes, then peel and deseed.
- Slice and chop the peppers finely without blending. Flake the tuna and combine with peppers, garlic, olive oil and seasoning.
- Cover and leave at least 1 hour for flavours to combine; the source also suggests refrigerating overnight.
- Spoon onto ciabatta and finish with olive oil and sea salt.
