Hey there, fellow food lovers! Are you ready to dive into a flavor explosion that's both simple and utterly delightful? I'm so excited to share this recipe for Roasted Peppers with Boquerones – it's a vibrant side dish that's perfect for adding a touch of Mediterranean flair to any meal.


What makes this recipe so special? Well, first off, it's naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, and even suitable for those following a low FODMAP diet. But beyond that, it's the incredible combination of sweet, smoky roasted red bell peppers and the tangy, briny bite of boquerones (those lovely white anchovy fillets). The contrast is simply divine!


The roasting process brings out the natural sweetness of the peppers, while the sherry vinegar and sugar create a luscious marinade that perfectly complements their flavor. And those boquerones? They add a salty, umami punch that elevates the dish to a whole new level. Trust me, even if you're not usually an anchovy fan, these little guys might just win you over.


This recipe is incredibly versatile too. Serve it as a side dish alongside grilled fish or chicken, toss it with pasta for a quick and flavorful meal, or simply enjoy it as a vibrant appetizer with some crusty bread. Plus, you can make the peppers ahead of time and let them marinate for up to three days, making it perfect for entertaining. So, grab some red bell peppers and let's get roasting!

Ingredients
