Ingredients

2 medium (400g) red capsicums

1 medium (200g) yellow capsicum

1/4 cup (60ml) extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

1 1/2 tablespoon drained capers, chopped

1 medium (120g) zucchini, sliced thinly

1 large sourdough baguette

1 clove garlic, bruised, peeled

4 soft-boiled eggs, peeled, halved

10 marinated artichoke hearts, sliced

10 large basil leaves

Method

1.Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Place capsicums on an oven tray; roast until the skin is beginning to blister and blacken. Transfer to a bowl; cover with plastic wrap, cool.

2.Combine oil, vinegar, parsley and capers in a medium bowl. Add the zucchini; season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

3.Remove the skin and seeds from the capsicums; thinly slice the flesh. Add the capsicum to the zucchini mixture; toss to combine.

4.Split the baguette in half lengthways, without cutting all the way through; open out flat. Scoop out the soft bread; rub the garlic over the inside of the baguette.

5.Arrange the eggs in the base of the baguette; top with the artichoke, then capsicum mixture, then basil. Replace the top of the baguette.

6.Wrap the baguette in plastic wrap; place on a tray. Top with another tray then place several heavy weights on top. Refrigerate overnight. Serve cut in thick slices.

For a heartier version, add canned tuna, prosciutto or smoked salmon. Pan bagna can also be made in a round loaf. Simply remove the top of a small cob loaf and scoop out the bread. Not suitable to freeze or microwave.
