  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Vegetables and Seasonings

  • 4 bell peppers
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil spray or for drizzling

Vinaigrette

  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • Pinch salt and pepper

Sourdough Breadcrumbs

  • 3 slices sourdough bread, torn into pieces
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (thyme, basil, rosemary), plus more for sprinkling

Cheese

  • 1 (8 ounce) ball burrata cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, aiming for around 500 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure a good sear on the peppers.
  2. Prepare the Peppers: Slice the bell peppers in half vertically from top to bottom. Remove some of the ribs and seeds to reduce bitterness. Lightly spray or brush both sides of the peppers with olive oil and season them evenly with salt and pepper.
  3. Make the Vinaigrette: In a bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, minced garlic, a pinch of salt and pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes until well combined. Gradually whisk in the olive oil until the mixture emulsifies into a smooth dressing.
  4. Prepare Sourdough Breadcrumbs: Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the torn sourdough bread pieces, seasoning with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir frequently, cooking until the bread crumbs turn golden brown and become crunchy, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in fresh herbs.
  5. Grill the Peppers: Place the pepper halves cut side down on the hot grill. Grill for 5 to 6 minutes or until the peppers are golden and slightly charred. Flip them and grill for an additional 5 minutes to soften through.
  6. Marinate and Assemble: Remove the grilled peppers from the grill and arrange them on a serving dish. Drizzle some of the prepared vinaigrette over them and allow to marinate for a few minutes. Tear apart the burrata cheese and distribute it over the peppers. Drizzle on more vinaigrette, then top with the crunchy sourdough breadcrumbs and sprinkle with fresh herbs.
  7. Serve: Serve immediately to enjoy the contrasting textures and vibrant flavors of this dish.

Notes

  • Use a mix of colorful bell peppers for visual appeal and a variety of flavors.
  • If you don’t have a grill, you can use a grill pan on the stovetop or roast the peppers under a broiler.
  • Fresh herbs can be varied according to preference; oregano or parsley also pair well with this dish.
  • Ensure the vinaigrette is well emulsified for a balanced flavor coating on the peppers.
  • For a vegan version, substitute burrata with a plant-based cheese alternative.
