INSTRUCTIONS

1
Preheat the oven to 250 °C.

Wash and dry the bell peppers, brush them all over with oil, season with salt and pepper, and place them on a baking sheet. Put them in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.
3
Meanwhile, peel the garlic, cut it lengthwise, remove the germ, and finely chop the garlic. Finely chop the mint leaves.
4
Pour the oil into a bowl, stir in the garlic and mint, and set aside.
5
Place the roasted bell peppers into a bowl. Cover it thoroughly with foil and let the peppers steam for 5 minutes. Then, scrape off the skin with a knife. Cut off the tops of the peppers, halve them lengthwise, and remove the seeds. Rinse the flesh thoroughly with cold water, dry it, and cut it into 0.5 cm cubes.
6
Place the chopped bell peppers into the bowl with the prepared dressing, season with salt and pepper, and mix.

Toast the ciabatta slices dry in a pan over medium heat. Place the tapenade on a slice of ciabatta, add ¼ mascarpone, 3 mint leaves, and season with pepper.
