From lizzconn 14 years agoIngredients

- 40g (1/2 cup) finely grated parmesan shopping list
- 1 x 100g pkt toasted pine nuts shopping list
- 2 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped # shopping list

How to make it
- Place the rocket, parmesan, pine nuts and garlic in the bowl of a food processor and process until finely chopped. With the motor running, gradually add the oil in a thin steady stream until well combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
- Preheat a grill on high. Place the capsicum, skin-side up, under grill and cook for 8-10 minutes or until the skin is charred and blistered. Transfer to a sealable plastic bag and set aside for 10 minutes (this helps lift the skin). Peel the skin from the capsicums and cut the flesh into thin slices.
- Preheat a barbecue or chargrill on high. Brush both sides of the ciabatta with extra oil. Cook ciabatta on grill for 1-2 minutes each side or until toasted.
- Spread the ciabatta evenly with rocket pesto. Top with capsicum and sprinkle with feta. Place on a serving platter and serve immediately.
- TIPS:
- Prepare this recipe to the end of step 2 up to 1 day ahead. Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Continue from step 3 just before serving.
- Ciabatta is a crusty Italian bread.
