Cook safely
Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.
- Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
- Grill and open flame. Keep sleeves, hair and tea towels away from the flame, and stay with the grill while it's lit. Barbecue outdoors only, never in a closed space.
- Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

- Preheat broiler or light barbecue.
- Toss peppers in bowl with 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil to coat evenly. Place peppers under broiler or on barbecue and roast, turning often to blacken skin evenly all over. Allow to cool and then peel under running water, rubbing skins gently to remove all charred bits. Remove seeds and stems, cut into 1-inch strips and place in a mixing bowl. Add anchovies, capers, olives, vinegar and rosemary and 2 tablespoons oil to peppers and toss to mix well. Divide among 4 plates and set aside.
- Place 2 goat cheese rounds in center of each pile. Broil bread until light brown on both sides and rub garlic clove against toasted edge to lightly coat toast with garlic. Drizzle each toast with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and place on side of each plate and serve.
