Free Healthy Recipe - Italian Roast Capsicum

Dairy free, Low carbohydrate, Low GI, Low sugar, Wheat Free

Tomatoes are one of the few vegetables that actually increase their antioxidant power when heated. Added to the antioxidant power of red capsicum, garlic and basil this dish packs quite a nutritional punch - and it tastes good too.
For a very simple dinner menu, serve it over cracked sweet and sour freekeh with spicy baked herb and lemon monkfish. Your guests will be totally impressed.

Ingredients
2 red capsicum halved, seeded with stalks in tact
3 cloves garlic
¼ cup basil leaves, shredded
4 anchovy fillets finely chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
Method

Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

Leaving the green stalk intact cut the peppers in half and remove all the seeds. Lay them out on a bakng sheet lined with paper. Cut the tomatoes into 4 and drop 2 pieces into each capsicum half. Cut the anchovies into small pieces and scatter them onto each half with even quantities of garlic shavings. Finally drizzle each one with a teaspoon of olive oil , some cracked black pepper and bake in the oven for 50 minutes to 1 hour.
Serve with fresh basil.
