Peperonata

This is a classic Italian dish that works well on an antipasto table or as a side to roasted or barbecued food. The capsicums (peppers) are very sweet; the capers, olives and anchovies are salty; and the red wine vinegar is sour, which makes this a well-balanced dish with great flavour. At the restaurant we cut the capsicums into fine dice, which makes it more of a relish. You can also cut the capsicums into 1 cm (½ inch) squares if you wish. It is nice to cook and peel the capsicums before
