Ingredients

  • 1 (1 1/2-pounds) eggplant
  • 3 red bell peppers
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil plus additional for coating
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
  • 1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon drained capers, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 3 anchovy fillets, finely chopped

Method

  • Preheat oven to 450°F with racks in middle and upper third.
  • Halve eggplant lengthwise and roast, cut sides down, in a 4-sided sheet pan in middle of oven until tender, about 25 minutes. Cool.
  • Turn on broiler.
  • Halve peppers lengthwise, then stem and seed. Coat outsides of peppers with olive oil, then broil, cut sides down, in 4-sided sheet pan 3 to 4 inches from heat until well charred, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let stand, covered, 15 minutes. Peel peppers and coarsely chop.
