Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas mark 6.
-
Step 2.
Place the whole, unpeeled red onions in a large roasting pan. Rub them with a little olive oil and some salt. Roast in the oven, turning from time to time, for 15 minutes.
-
Step 3.
Prick the aubergines in several places with a fork and add them to the roasting pan with the onions. Continue baking for 20–25 minutes, until the vegetables are soft but not mushy. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
-
Step 4.
While the onions and aubergines are roasting, place the red and yellow peppers in a separate roasting pan. Roast for about 20–25 minutes, turning from time to time, until their skins start to blacken and blister.
-
Step 5.
Transfer the roasted peppers to a bowl, cover with cling film, and set aside to cool slightly.
-
Step 6.
When all vegetables are cool enough to handle, deseed the peppers, peel the onions and aubergines, and cut all the vegetables into thick strips.
-
Step 7.
Combine the sliced vegetables in a large bowl. Add the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, and crushed garlic. Season with salt and pepper and toss well.
-
Step 8.
Transfer the vegetable mixture to a serving dish. Top with the sliced goats' cheese rounds and chopped anchovies. Serve at room temperature or chilled, as desired.
