Instructions

  4. Peel the onions and slice.
  5. Put the capsicum, onion and garlic onto the prepared tray and toss with remaining ingredients.
  6. Bake 30-45 minutes, tossing two to three times throughout the cooking, until the edges of the peppers start to char a little.

  8. Put all ingredients – including the oil from the pan – into a food processor.
  9. Blend until totally smooth.
  10. Adjust seasoning, if necessary.
Notes

Before you puree the veg, set a little aside to use as a garnish, it looks wonderful.
