Spanish-style pimentos with chillies

Method

1. Wash and dry the peppers, chillies and green chillies, and pat dry. In a shallow frying pan, warm the olive oil, but don't get it too hot. Add the whole peppers and chillies and fry over a low heat for 2 minutes, until the peppers and chillies begin to lightly colour.

2. Cover the pan and reduce the heat. Continue to cook the chillies over a very low heat for a further 20-30 minutes, until just tender. Give the pan an occasional shake to prevent the peppers catching on the base.

3. Serve warm, with a mound of sea salt for dipping, and crusty bread for mopping-up any juices.
