Method

Hide images
step 1
Pre-heat the grill to high.
step 2
Place the peppers (1 pack), cut side down, onto a large, foil-lined baking tray. Lightly drizzle with 1 tbsp of olive oil and season with salt. Place the tray under the grill for 8-10 minutes, or until the skin on the pepper is blistered and blackened. Tip the peppers into a heatproof bowl, cover with clingfilm and leave to steam. Turn off the grill and preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 6.
step 3
Meanwhile, make the anchovy butter. Pop the butter (125 g), lemon zest (1), anchovy fillets (8), garlic (1 clove) and rosemary (1 sprig) into a food processor or high-powered blender and blitz until smooth. Scrape the mixture out into a small bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper.
step 4
Slice the baguette (1) into six think slices and place onto a baking tray. Spread each slice liberally with the anchovy butter. Cook for 8 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Remove the tray from the oven and leave to cool slightly.
step 5
Peel the skins off the peppers and discard them. Cut the roasted peppers into thin strips. Add these to a bowl, along with the sherry vinegar (1 tbsp), parsley (10 g) and 1 tbsp of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.
step 6
To make the tempura anchovies, place the cornflour (100 g) and self-raising flour (100 g) into a large mixing bowl. Add the cold sparkling water (200 ml), ice cubes (4) and a generous pinch of salt and whisk until smooth. Set aside.
step 7
Heat a large, high-sided frying pan filled with 2 inches of sunflower oil over a medium-high heat. If you don’t have a thermometer, insert the handle of a wooden spoon – if you can see steady bubbles forming around the handle, it’s ready. If it bubbles too vigorously, it’s too hot.
step 8
Lay the sliced tomatoes (3) onto the anchovy toasts and spoon over the red peppers. Once the oil is hot, dip each anchovy (12) into the tempura batter, lower into the oil and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until crispy. Lift the tempura anchovies from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack. Sprinkle with salt and lay one on top of the peppers on each toast and garnish with parsley (5 g), serve immediately.
