Method

Set the oven to 180°C/Gas Mark 4.
Put tomatoes in a bowl, pour boiling water over them and leave for 30 secs. Take out and cool under cold water, then peel skins off. Quarter, remove the seeds and roughly chop the flesh.
Halve peppers lengthways, take out the core and seeds. Put peppers in a roasting tin and fill with the tomato, garlic, anchovy fillets and torn basil leaves.
Add red onion wedges to the tin. Drizzle onion and peppers with the anchovy oil (2-3 tbs) and grind pepper over. Roast for 40-50 mins, depending on size.
Rip mozzarella into chunks on to 2 platters, put peppers on top, sprinkle with the roasted onion and olives. Spoon any cooking juices over and drizzle with oil. Garnish with basil leaves.
