----------
Make   -   (2-1/2 hrs - 20 min work)
  1. Blast PEPPERS black with your Kitchen Torch. Brush skin off under cold running water. Don't worry about a few black flakes adhering to the peppers, it just enhances the flavor. If you got them nice and black the peppers should be just barely softened.
  2. Core Peppers and cut in strips of the width and length you prefer.
  3. Chop PARSLEY fine. Crush GARLIC and chop fine. Drain CAPERS and chop medium. Chop ANCHOVIES small. Mix all.
  4. Mix all Dressing items except Olive Oil until salt has dissolved, then whip in Olive Oil.
  5. Tumble Peppers with Caper mix, then pour Dressing over them. Let marinade for at least 2 hours at room temperature, turning now and then. Better overnight or even longer refrigerated, turning now and then.
  6. Let warm to room temperature, tumble once more and serve.
