Method


  1. For the griddled pepper, drizzle the pepper quarters with olive oil and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat a griddle pan until smoking, add the peppers and griddle for 3-4 minutes, or until golden-brown and slightly charred.

  2. For the rocket salad, mix all of the salad ingredients together in a large bowl.

  3. For the skordalia, place the bread in a bowl with the water and leave to soak for a few minutes. Squeeze out the excess water, then place the softened bread into a food processor with the rest of the skordalia ingredients and blend to a smooth paste.

  4. To serve, spoon the skordalia onto two serving plates, top with the griddled pepper and serve the rocket salad on the sides.
