Spicy red peppers as arrows, a side dish full of tension and bite, straight from the headlines.
Long, diagonally arranged red peppers form a row of arrows on the plate: a nod to the FCC's pressure and threats. The dish is sharp, spicy, and tangy, matching the tension in the news. The arrow shape is immediately recognizable, built from whole peppers and lime wedges.
Ingredients
- 8 red pointed peppers
- 4 red chili peppers
- 2 limes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 bunch coriander
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Halve the pointed peppers lengthwise, remove seeds but keep the stems.
- Slice the chili peppers lengthwise, remove seeds.
- Mix olive oil, pressed garlic, red wine vinegar, sea salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
- Place peppers and chilies on a baking tray and brush with the oil mixture.
- Roast for 20 minutes until soft and lightly charred.
- Cut the limes into wedges.
- On each plate, place two pepper halves diagonally with a chili half as the arrow tip, forming an arrow.
- Place a lime wedge at the back of each arrow as a 'feather'.
- Sprinkle with coriander.
Serving notes
- Serve on a white plate for maximum contrast.
- Let guests squeeze lime over the arrows for extra tang.
