Caroline Cowan makes some Red Peppers rolled with Goats Cheese

  1. Cut the peppers into large flat pieces and remove seeds.
  2. Lay the pieces onto a tray, skin-side up, and place under a hot grill until the skin blisters and blackens.
  3. Place inside a plastic bag and leave to cool, then peel away the skin. Cut into 3 cm wide pieces.
  4. Combine the parsley, chives, capers and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl. Crumble in the goats cheese and mix well.
  5. Season with lots of pepper. Place a basil leaf on the inside of each pepper piece and top with a teaspoon of goat’s cheese.
  6. Roll the pepper over the goat’s cheese mixture and secure with a cocktail stick. Brush with olive oil.
