Sweet Pepper Caponata

Ingredients:

• 4 red bell peppers, halved and seeded
• 0.5 cups extra-virgin olive oil + extra for drizzling
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1/4 cup raisins
• 2 tbsp. dried capers
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 cups arugula

Preparation:

1. Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat the oven to broil. Place the red peppers on a baking sheet. Drizzle with a little olive oil and toss to lightly coat; season with salt and pepper.
2. Grill the peppers skin-side up until blackened. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and let them steam and cool for at least 15 minutes. Peel off the skins and cut the peppers into pieces.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 8 minutes.
4. Remove from heat, add pepper, raisins, capers, and vinegar, and stir. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss with arugula and serve.
