1 Roasted yellow pepper

2 Tablespoons (30 ml) Olive oil ½ Teaspoon (2.5 ml) Salt

¼Teaspoon (1 ml) Black pepper

¼Cup (60 ml) Fresh basil, chopped 2.5 oz. (70 g) Goat cheese (optional)

Ingredients for Roasted Garlic Butter

1 Garlic bulb, whole

1 Tablespoon (15 ml) Olive oil

¼Teaspoon (2.5 ml) Salt Pinch Black pepper

2 Sprigs of thyme

1 Bay leaf

1 Square foot piece of foil

¼Cup (60 ml) Unsalted butter, softened

Roasting the yellow pepper

1.Cut the yellow pepper in half and remove the seeds and stem. Flatten each half onto the roasting pan lined with foil.

Set the wire rack in the top rack height position and turn the FUNCTION dial until the indicator on the LCD screen points to BROIL.

3.Broil the pepper until the skin is blacked.

4.Remove the pepper from the oven and enclose it in the foil. The moisture from the steam will enable the skin to loosen easily from the flesh.

5.When cool enough to handle peel away the skin. Cut the pepper in small dices.

Preparing the Roasted Garlic Butter

1.Place the garlic bulb in the center of the foil. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Place the thyme and bay leaf on the bulb. Bring the sides of the foil together tightly, forming a pouch and place on the Breville pizza pan. Set the wire rack in the bottom rack height position and turn the FUNCTION dial until the indicator on the LCD screen points to ROAST.

2.Set the temperature to 400°F (205°C) and the timer to 30 minutes. Press the START/CANCEL button to activate.

3.Remove from the oven when the garlic is soft. Allow to cool then in a small bowl, squeeze the bulb until the pulp is released. Combine with butter and season with salt and pepper.

4.Cut the cherry or grape tomatoes in half and then in thirds. Place in a medium-sized bowl. Add diced roasted yellow peppers and olive oil. Season with salt, pepper and add fresh basil. Set aside.
