Ingredients

  • Yellow Pepper: 2 yellow peppers
  • Red Pepper: 2 red peppers
  • Green Bean: 300g green bean
  • Cherry Tomato: 300g cherry tomato, halved
  • Caper: 1 tbsp small capers
  • Black Olive: 2 handfuls black olives, stoned
  • Olive Oil: 4 tbsp olive oil
  • Red Wine Vinegar: 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • Basil: large bunch basil, leaves picked, large ones roughly shredded, small ones left whole

Directions

  1. On the barbecue, under the grill or over a flame, blacken the peppers all over, then pop into a bowl and cover with cling film. Once cool, peel, deseed and cut into strips, keeping any juices.
  2. Cook the beans in boiling salted water until crunchy but not squeaky, then drain and drop straight into iced water. To serve, toss everything together, adding the shredded basil at the last minute, and scattering with the small basil leaves to finish.
