    I visited London in 2011 & was there for around two months. I had a little time to see the city ,tightly packed weekdays & only few weekends.So I planned to explore the city as much as possible on weekends.All day outing, exploring cities attractions, eating out, roaming and much more..It reminds me of a fantastic meal ,I had in Jamie Oliver’s restaurant in Covent garden, Ohh !! such a lovely place, so lively and full of fun :) Few days back, created this very simple yet classic dish which oozes out tangy & smoky flavors with every bite, inspired from Jamie’s Italian .

    Ingredients

    • 8 Baby red bell peppers
    • 8 Mozzarella cubes
    • 6,7 green or black olives
    • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
    • 4 garlic cloves, peeled
    • 2 ts fresh rosemary leaves
    • 2 ts of fresh thyme
    • Lemon zest , from 1/2 medium size lemon
    • Sea salt and ground pepper as per taste

    Directions

    1. - Heat 1/4 cup of olive oil in a skillet, add garlic, thyme, rosemary and half of the lemon zest
    2. - Saute it over medium-low heat for 3 minutes until the garlic and herbs become fragrant.
    3. - Once you get nice aroma, add olives and mix them so that all herbs are coated properly
    4. - Turn off the gas,keep it aside and let it cool
    5. - Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.
    6. - Cut the top of the peppers and de-seed them.
    7. - Mix the olive oil, salt, pepper, remaining lemon zest, thyme & rosemary
    8. - Spread this olive oil mix inside the peppers and coat them well
    9. - Stuff the peppers with mozzarella balls, sprinkle some herbs if you want and bake them in the oven for about 20 minutes until you see the cheese melting & peppers look cooked.
    10. - Once done, serve them hot with marinated olives & sundried tomatoes(store bought).
    11. Enjoy :)
