Ingredients

  • 5 red bell peppers

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • Coarse salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, cut into thin strips

  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

  • 1/4 cup chopped, pitted Kalamata olives

  • 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the red bell peppers on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skins are charred and blistered.
  • Remove the peppers from the oven and transfer them to a bowl, covering with plastic wrap. Let them steam for 10 minutes, then peel off the skins and discard the seeds.
  • Slice the roasted peppers into triangles and arrange them on a serving platter. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • In a small bowl, combine the prosciutto, parsley, Kalamata olives, lemon zest, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Toss gently to combine.
  • Spoon the Italian relish over the red pepper triangles and serve immediately.
