Grilled Sweet Peppers

Ingredients

• 1 kg sweet bell peppers (green, red, orange, purple and/or yellow). If you can find baby bell peppers, use them whole, having cut off the stem end and removed the seeds.
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon coarse salt
• 60 ml extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 55 grams crumbled feta cheese

Preparation

Core, seed and rinse the peppers. Cut each pepper into quarters. Put the pepper chunks into a large resealable plastic bag.
In a small bowl, combine the garlic, salt, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and pepper; mix well. Pour this sauce over the pepper chunks. Reseal the bag and shake to distribute the sauce.
Preheat a barbecue grill. Remove the peppers from the sauce. Place them, smooth side down, on the hot grill. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes (turning occasionally) or until they are lightly charred on both sides. Remove the peppers from the grill; either leave them in chunks or slice them into strips 1.2 cm wide.  Arrange the chunks or strips on a platter, alternating colours. Sprinkle them with crumbled feta cheese.
