• 100 g pimento
• 8 tbsp olive oil
• 12 anchovy fillets
• 1 Garlic clove
• Pepper (freshly ground)

Instructions

1. 1.

   Preheat the oven to 200°C fan-forced.

   Wash and pat dry the pepper halves. In a hot, ovenproof pan, sear in 4 tbsp oil. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for about 15 minutes.

   For the dip, pat the anchovies dry and set aside two for garnish. Place the rest in a small saucepan. Add the remaining oil and squeeze in the peeled garlic.
