Side Dishes
Grilled Peppers with Bay Leaves
3 large red peppers
3 large yellow peppers
3-5 branches of fresh bay leaves
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
Place the peppers over a hot grill. Cook until they begin to blacken on all sides (this will happen quickly). Place the peppers in a container and cover tightly with plastic wrap until they are cool enough to handle. When cooled, peel the blackened skin from the peppers with a knife.
Rub each pepper with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Place the peppers in a bowl so that they fit snugly, and insert bay leaves between them so that they are touching each pepper. Allow to sit for about one hour, then reheat on a cool part of the grill for about 30 seconds and serve. Makes 6 servings.
