Sweet Pepper Salad

Ingredients:

3 sweet green peppers

1 sweet red pepper (optional)

1 Tablespoon finely chopped parsley

1 or 2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed in a mortar with salt and black pepper

1 Tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

3 Tablespoons olive oil

Preheat oven at 500 degrees.

Place peppers directly on oven rack in center of oven and roast until they begin to pop and are beginning to brown. They must be watched carefully so as not to bum them, but you do want them browned. When collapsed and well roasted, put in a large bowl covered tightly with wet paper towels and a dish towel. Let steam for about 1 hour and then peel (using your fingers to separate the skin form the meat), seed, and slice lengthwise into long strips. Put in a serving bowl. Mix lemon juice, oil, and garlic and pour over peppers. Mix well. Serve with warm pita bread, Greek olives, and Feta cheese.
