Artichoke and Red Pepper Stir Fry

 

1 large red pepper

2 tbsps. olive oil

1 onion, finely chopped

1 inch piece of fresh root ginger, finely chopped

1 garlic clove, crushed

10 oz. can artichoke hearts, drained and sliced

1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar

salt and pepper

few basil leaves, to garnish

 

Roast the red pepper under a hot grill, turning it

frequently until the skin is blistered and blackened

on all sides.

Place it in a polythene bag until cool, then peel off

the skin.

Core and deseed the pepper and cut the flesh

lengthways into thin strips, then set aside.

Heat the oil in the wok over moderate heat.

Add the onion, ginger and garlic, stir-fry for 2 to 3

minutes or until softened without browning.

Add the artichokes and pepper strips, increase the

heat to high and toss until piping hot.

Sprinkle over the balsamic vinegar and add salt and

pepper to taste.

Garnish with the basil leaves and ready to serve.

If you are short of time, omit roasting the red

pepper, but stir-fry it for a few minutes longer to

soften it. Serves 4.
