*This is the most laborious part of the recipe. Here’s how to roast peppers. As a substitution, you can purchase whole roasted red peppers in jars (pimento). They have a softer texture and different flavor, but it’s a good flavor. Preparation 1. WHISK together olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. Add peppers and marinate for 1 hour. 2. FILL each pepper with a piece of mozzarella. Wrap a slice of prosciutto around each pepper. 3. TOP each with a basil leaf and olive, held together with a toothpick.
