Ingredients
- 1 large red bell pepper
- ½ cup green olives
- ½ cup black olives
- ½ cup capers
- ½ cup cocktail onions
- 1 talk celery roughly chopped
- 1 ounce can artichoke hearts
- 1½ teaspoons celery seed
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2½ tablespoons minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- ½ cup olive oil
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- Add the remaining ingredients and pulse until well chopped. Transfer to a storage container and refrigerate overnight for the flavors to marry.
- 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.
