Ingredients

6 total
  • 2 red onions, quartered
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for brushing
  • 4 romano red peppers
  • 500g mixed tomatoes
  • ½ tsp ground allspice
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped oregano

Method

4 steps
  1. Step 1

    Thread the onion quarters onto skewers and brush with a little oil. Place on the grill with the whole peppers over direct heat; barbecue for 30 mins until softened and charred, rotating every 8 mins. Remove and leave to cool.

  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, put the tomatoes in a robust pan with the oil and allspice; give it a good shake. Cook on the grill for 15 mins or so, stirring now and then, until blistered. Set aside.

  3. Step 3

    When the peppers have cooled, remove the stalks and skin; slice open and discard the seeds, then cut into strips. Chop the onions.

  4. Step 4

    Add the peppers, onions and oregano to the tomato pan; toss to combine, season and serve.
