Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Hot oil. Never put water on an oil fire: turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid or a damp tea towel. Pat food dry before it goes into hot oil, and lower it in gently, away from you.
  • 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.
  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • 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.
  • Hot sugar. Hot sugar sticks to skin and burns far hotter than boiling water: don't touch or taste it. Keep a bowl of cold water close, and keep children away while it cooks.
  • 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.

Method

  1. 1. Roast the bell peppers directly over a gas flame or under the broiler as close to the heat as possible, turning, until charred all over, about 5 minutes. Enclose the peppers in a paper bag and set aside for 10 minutes to steam. With a small knife, scrape off the blackened skin; remove the cores, seeds and ribs. Rinse under running water. Slice the peppers lengthwise into 1-inch strips. (The recipe can be prepared to this point up to 3 days ahead; cover and refrigerate.) 2. In a small nonreactive skillet, combine the olive oil and garlic. Cover and cook over very low heat until the garlic is very tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Uncover the pan, increase the heat to moderate and cook until browned, about 2 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and thyme and cook for 1 minute. 3. To assemble, decoratively arrange the pepper strips and mozzarella slices on 6 small plates. Spoon the caramelized garlic dressing over the peppers and cheese and sprinkle the parsley and black pepper on top. Serve at room temperature. (The salad can be assembled up to 2 hours before serving.)
