You will need

1 red bell pepper
1 yellow bell pepper
1 orange bell pepper
½ cup (125 ml) Ina Paarman’s Classic Balsamic Vinaigrette
1 t (5 ml) Ina Paarman’s Rosemary & Olive Seasoning
2 cups (500 ml) small young nasturtium leaves, nasturtium flowers and/or any other edible flowers.

Method

You can either char the bell peppers directly over a gas flame or bake them on a baking tray at 250°C for 20 minutes. Leave them in a mixing bowl covered with clingfilm to cool and for the skins to loosen. Peel, seed and slice into thin strips. Toss with the Vinaigrette and season to taste with Rosemary & Olive Seasoning. Can be prepared in advance.

**To serve:**

Make a bed of leaves on a flat platter. Dish the pepper strips over the leaves and add flowers for garnish.
