Roasted Peppers in Oil

Roasted peppers in oil are sweet, fleshy bell peppers that have been heat-processed and preserved in oil, often with the addition of herbs, garlic, or vinegar. They have a rich, sweet, and slightly smoky flavour, which typically comes from charring or roasting the skins beforehand. In the kitchen, they are excellent as a side for meats, cheeses, and cured meats, on antipasti platters, in sandwiches, pasta dishes, and sauces. The oil from the jar is wonderfully aromatic and can be used to dress salads or pasta. Peppers in oil are a hallmark of Italian, Spanish, and Balkan cuisine, bringing a Mediterranean flair to any dish.
