Instructions

1. Prepare the peppers
   Preheat your oven to the highest temperature. Start by washing the yellow and red bell peppers thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast them in the oven until the skin is charred and blistered, which should take around 20-25 minutes, depending on your oven’s heat.

2. Peel the peppers
   Once the peppers are roasted, remove them from the oven and transfer them onto a cutting board. Allow them to cool slightly for easier handling. Begin by cutting off the stem, then carefully open the peppers lengthwise, removing the seeds with a spoon. Gently peel away the skin—if the skin is stubborn, you can place the peppers into a plastic bag (the kind you use for freezing food) for 10-15 minutes to loosen the skin. After this time, peeling will be much easier.

3. Slice the peppers
   Once the peppers are peeled, slice them into long, thin fillets. Repeat this process with both the yellow and red bell peppers, then set them aside.

4. Prepare the aromatic dressing
   To make the flavorful dressing, finely chop the garlic, fresh chili pepper, parsley, and pine nuts. Place the garlic and pine nuts in a mixing bowl, and then add the freshly chopped parsley and chili pepper. Drizzle in some extra virgin olive oil to bind the ingredients together and form a fragrant marinade. Stir until the mixture is well combined and all the ingredients are evenly coated in the oil.

5. Assemble the dish
   Now, take each of the pepper fillets and lay an anchovy fillet on top. Carefully roll up each pepper fillet, creating small, neat bundles. Arrange the rolled-up peppers on a serving plate.

6. Dress the peppers
   Pour the aromatic dressing over the rolled peppers, ensuring each one is generously coated with the flavorful mixture. This step infuses the peppers with the fresh, garlicky, and slightly spicy flavors from the dressing.

7. Serve
   For a beautiful presentation, serve the roasted pepper and anchovy rolls on a bed of fresh salad greens. The combination of smoky peppers, savory anchovies, and aromatic seasoning makes for a vibrant and flavorful appetizer that will impress any guest.
