#212 marinated romano peppers with buffalo mozzarella

from the cookbook

this is the first proper recipe i made after coming back from south dakota. these peppers are really something special. i haven’t seen long sweet peppers ever in a grocery store in minneapolis. i even asked on instagram, and other u.s. ottolenghi fans hadn’t seen them either. imagine my surprise when i found them in a random grocery store in valentine, nebraska. they are very delicious, sweet and full of flavor. this is a great use of them: they are roasted for about 15 minutes in the oven, and then marinated for a few hours in a mix of olive oil, cilantro, parsley, garlic and apple cider vinegar. the are topped on a bed of arugula with buffalo mozzarella. so simple and good! i have enough peppers for one more recipe, that’s for tomorrow night.
