Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°. Place bell pepper on a sheet pan lined with foil or parchment paper and roast until skins are blackened and flesh is soft, about 25-30 minutes. Transfer the bell pepper to a small bowl and cover with plastic wrap. 
  2. Let the pepper rest until cool enough to handle. Remove the skin, stem, seeds and membrane and discard. Place the flesh of the pepper into a food processor.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients and pulse until well chopped. Transfer to a storage container and refrigerate overnight for the flavors to marry.
  4. Use in a classic Muffuletta Sandwich, or spread on crackers with goat cheese for an appetizer.  Spoon a bit onto grilled chicken, fish or pork.
