Equipment

  • Knife and Cutting Board
  • Whisk
  • Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Bell pepper / Capsicum - 1/3 cup each of any colour I had 3 coloured ones, so used them
  • 200 grams Broccoli cut into medium sized florets
  • 1 tomato Ripe, desseded and cut into 1" batons
  • 2 TBSP Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Crushed black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Salt - to taste remember, Feta is sharp and salty, so use salt accordingly

Topping:

  • 4 TBSP Feta crumbled
  • 2 tsp Roasted Sesame seeds

For the Citrus / Orange Vinaigrette:

  • 1 TBSP Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Orange Juice
  • 1 TBSP Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Crushed Black pepper
  • 1 TBSP Olive Oil
  • 1/4 tsp Salt adjust accordingly

Instructions
 

  • Wash and deseed the bell pepper . Cut into triangles or squares, slightly flatten them with your fingers. Wash and cut broccoli into florets.
  • Heat a frying pan / tava (skillet) and place the cut bell peppers and broccoli. Drizzle the olive oil on them and sprinkle a little salt and half of the crushed black pepper.
  • On a low- medium heat, roast them for 2- 4 mins till they are slightly charred, but dont burn .
  • Alternately you could bake them in a pre-heated oven at 160 / 170 C on a lined tray, but that works for a larger quantity, and the tava method was quicker)
  • Once they peppers are done (they take lesser time to roast), remove to a bowl and immediately cling wrap the bowl (this helps releases the water and prevents them from getting soggy)
  • Keep an eye on the broccoli and remove to a bowl once they are mildly roasted but still retain the crunch

For the Vinaigrette :

  • Whisk together
all the ingredients and mix till the brown sugar is dissolved and the olive oil blends with the Orange Juice. Chill for 20 mins at least.
  • (Tip : If you are out of Orange juice, you could also mix Sweet Lime Juice with a tsp of Lemon juice).

To serve:

  • Toss the bell peppers and broccoli together. Add the tomato batons (raw).
  • Check for salt and seasoning. Just before serving add the Orange Dressing and crumbed Feta.
  • Toss just once and top with roasted Sesame seeds and serve immediately.
