Slow Roasted Capsicum Marinated in Olive Oil and Feta

Recipe By Michael Weldon

Ingredients

  • 3 red capsicums

  • 3 yellow capsicums

  • 1 block Coles Greek Style feta cheese

Olive Oil Marinade

  • 1 cup Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil

  • 2 sprigs thyme

  • 4 garlic cloves, in skin and crushed

  • ½ tsp chilli flakes

  • sea salt

Method

  • In a BBQ or over a flame on a gas hob, char the skin of the capsicums. Once blackened all over place in a bowl and cover in plastic wrap to steam. 

  • In a small saucepan combine the oil, thyme, garlic, chilli flakes and a pinch of salt. Bring up to a gentle simmer then remove from the heat.  

  • Once the capsicums have steamed for 10 - 15 minutes, peel the charred skin. Then cut open and remove the seeds, stem and ribs. Place into a large bowl. Crumble in some large pieces of feta and then pour over the warm oil mix. Make sure it's not hot otherwise it will melt the feta.

  • Leave to marinate for a couple of hours or up to a week in the fridge.

  • Serve as a side to roast meats or on toast as a great snack.
