How to Make

  • Step 1: Peppers ... You can buy them roasted; however, they are so simple to prepare. Cut your peppers into quarters and remove the ribs and seeds. Add them to a small sheet pan lined with foil (for easy clean up); and broil, skin side up in a 500 degree oven, on the second shelf down. I like to flip them the last 3-4 minutes to finish cooking. You want them to be charred and tender. Remove the peppers once the are done; and, add to either - a small brown bag; or, a bowl covered with plastic wrap. This will allow the skin to separate, and easily be removed. Let the let the peppers set a good 10-15 minutes; then, peel off the skins; but DO NOT rinse them under water. You can simply use your fingers; or, the back of a spoon works well.

  • Step 2: Dressing ... Add all the ingredients to a medium size bowl and whisk well. Add the roasted red peppers along with the onions to the dressing, and toss lightly. Cover with plastic wrap; and, marinate for 30 minutes or longer.

  • Step 3: Flat Bread ... I like to grill this on an outside grill or grill pan, but a saute pan works just as well. You just want to warm it up and get a little char on the bread - but, you do NOT want it crispy. Set to the side, to let it cool.

  • Step 4: Sandwich ... Once the bread has cooled a bit, spread with the goat cheese on each flat bread. The amount really depends on the size of the flat bread. Approximately 1 1/2-2 tablespoons per bread. You want a light coating. Top the bottom bread with 1/2 of the spinach or arugula, then the marinated red peppers, onion slices, basil, and the remaining spinach or arugula. Top with the other flat bread, and cut into individual servings.

  • Step 5: Serve and ENJOY! Great served with a chick pea salad, tomato salad; or, even a fruit salad. Keep it light, simple, and healthy.
