- Preheat the grill to a high heat.
- Cut the peppers in half and remove the seeds and core.
- Place the peppers skin-side up onto the wire rack of the grill and grill until the skin blackens.
- Remove from the grill and place the pepper halves into a polythene bag immediately. Seal the bag and leave for 5 minutes.
- In the meantime, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a frying pan. Thinly slice the onion and then add to the pan. Fry until soft (about 5 minutes). Remove from the heat and set to one side.
- Take the peppers from the bag and carefully peel off the skin. You should be able to do this fairly easily.
- Discard the skin and cut the peppers into thin slices with a sharp knife.
- Place the peppers and onion into a mixing bowl and pour in any juices from the frying pan.
- Add the remaining olive oil with the garlic, salt and pepper and a good squeeze of lemon.
- Mix all of the ingredients together, then cover with cling film and leave to marinate for several hours.
- Transfer to serving dishes and sprinkle with chopped parsley and basil just before serving.
