  1. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Place capsicum, skin side up, on tray and place under a hot grill for up to 10-15 minutes, checking that the skin is blackened and blistered every few minutes. Alternatively, char capsicum on the stovetop or barbecue (see Tip).

  2. Place charred capsicum into a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap to trap the steam. Allow to cool (approx. 10 minutes), then remove from bowl and drain on paper towel. Discard any juices in bowl. Gently peel blackened skin from capsicum and discard skin.

  3. Place bread, lemon juice, sherry vinegar and 20 g of the olive oil and into mixing wl and leave to soak for 3 minutes.

Tip

This recipe has been provided to Thermomix by Gary Mehigan.

Useful items:

Baking tray (20 x 30cm), baking paper, plastic wrap, glass bowl and airtight container

Tip:

To char the capsicum on the stove top or on a barbecue, using tongs, hold a whole capsicum (stalk removed) over an open flame, turning occasionally, until blackened and blistered on all sides. Place into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap and allow to cool (approx. 10 minutes). Once cool, pierce bottom of capsicum to drain any liquid inside capsicum. Gently peel off skin and discard. Cut into halves and discard seeds. Proceed with step 3.

  • I imagine that you could use

    I imagine that you could use it as a pasta sauce.  Have not tried it yet but it does sound very tasty. It can also be used with Gary's steak recipe.
