Serves 6

3 long red bell peppers cut in half lengthwise; seeds and membranes removed but do not to cut the stems off, or else the peppers won’t hold any of the oil mix.
1/4 cup fresh basil sliced into very thin ribbons (chiffonade)
2 tablespoons chopped chives
2 tablespoons chopped garlic (about 4 medium cloves)
2 tablespoons capers coarsely chopped if large
1.5 tablespoons anchovy (about 6) chopped
2 tablespoons preserved lemon finely chopped (about ½ lemons, just skin)
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
Black pepper freshly ground
2 hot chillies thinly sliced optional but some heat recommended

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Arrange peppers on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Mix together basil, chives, garlic, capers, anchovy, preserved lemon and olive oil, mix until combined.
Put 1 tbsp of oil mixture in each pepper.
Bake for 15-20 minutes.
When peppers are ready sprinkle with black pepper and (if using) sliced hot peppers; or keep hot peppers on the side.
Serve warm or room temperature with toasted crusty bread.
You will have leftover oil and herb mix, serve on the side.
