Serving Suggestions

Note

• You can chargrill capsicum yourself by barbecuing it or roasting it at high heat. Once the skin has blackened, pop it in a plastic bag for 10 minutes. Then the skin should rub off easily and you can remove the seeds and slice the flesh.
• If you prefer, buy it pre-prepared from the deli or in jars in the antipasto section of the supermarket.
