Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the grill. Arrange the peppers on a baking sheet with the red onion. Sprinkle with the olive oil, then grill until soft and lightly browned – about 6 to 8 minutes.

Step 2

Look out for 'everyday' ranges of peppers, which are more economical to buy.

Step 3

Toast the slices of bread and share the pepper mixture between them. Arrange the mozzarella cheese on top, then return to the grill for 1 to 2 minutes, until the cheese begins to melt. Serve with mixed salad leaves.

Step 4

The pepper, onion and mozzarella mixture makes a delicious filling for warmed wholemeal pitta breads.
