Roasted Red Peppers and Cherry Tomatoes with Ricotta

INGREDIENTS

4 red bell peppers, halved, seeds and ribs removed
6 oil-packed anchovy fillets, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 cup basil leaves, divided
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons plus ⅓ cup olive oil
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
⅓ cup fresh ricotta
¼ cup pitted small black and/or green olives
Kiss of the Irish Flaky Sea Salt from Salts of the 7 Seas

PREPARATION

1. Preheat oven to 375°. Place bell peppers, skin side down, in a shallow baking dish and top with anchovies and garlic. Tear ¼ cup basil leaves over top, season with Kiss of the Irish Sea Salt and Tellicherry Pepper, and drizzle with 2 Tbsp. oil. Bake until peppers are tender but still hold their shape and are slightly charred around edges, 35–45 minutes. Let cool.

2. Meanwhile, blend remaining ¾ cup basil and remaining ⅓ cup oil in a blender until smooth; season basil oil with Kiss of the Irish Sea Salt and Tellicherry Pepper.

3. Arrange bell peppers on a platter. Top with tomatoes, ricotta, olives, and more basil, then drizzle with basil oil and season with Kiss of the Irish Sea Salt and Tellicherry Pepper.
