Before you start

Preheat oven to 200*C | Ovenproof skillet | Bullet blender | Tongs | Toaster

Prepare the ingredients

  • Halve, destem, core the pepper and cut into thin slices
  • Cut the top off the sprouting end of the garlic bulb

Cook the base

  • Add the tomatoes and pepper to the skillet, drizzle over a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper
  • Nestle the garlic bulb in the middle of the tomatoes and peppers
  • Put the pan in the oven and roast for 25 minutes

Prepare the whipped feta

  • Add the feta, oil and water to the bullet blender and blitz into a cream (add a little more water to reach the desired mayo-like consistency)

Prepare the roasted garlic and finish the roast

  • Remove the pan from the oven
  • Use tongs to remove garlic bulb and leave it to cool for a couple of minutes
  • When cool enough to handle, squeeze the roast garlic into the gap in the centre of the pan (if the garlic is still a bit firm microwave it for 2 minutes)
  • Mash the garlic into a puree with the back of a spoon in the centre of the pan
  • Add the harissa to the roast garlic puree
  • Pour the polpa tomatoes over the roast tomatoes and peppers
  • Sprinkle over a little sugar and fold the contents of the pan together with a wooden spoon
  • Drain the butterbeans, add them to the pan and fold into the sauce
  • Put the pan back in the oven and roast for a further 25 minutes

Time to serve
