This is my go to summer dinner when I want something that feels fancy but comes together surprisingly quickly. A classic pissaladière gets a fresh vegetable twist with roasted peppers, courgette, and sweet caramelized onions all piled onto buttery puff pastry. The anchovies might sound intimidating, but they melt into a savory depth that makes the whole thing sing. Red peppers are packed with vitamin C, so you're getting real nutrition alongside pure deliciousness. What I love most is that it's ready in under an hour from start to table, and using a shop bought pastry sheet means there's zero stress involved. It's perfect served warm or at room temperature with a simple salad on the side.

Instructions
- 1
Heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan, then add the onions, peppers and courgette. Cook gently for 20 minutes, or until soft and sweet. Season to taste, then set aside to cool slightly

Preheat the oven to 220°C, gas mark 7. Unroll the pastry onto a baking sheet, leaving it on its paper to prevent it from sticking. Using a sharp knife, score a line 1cm in from the edge of the pastry to create a border
- 3
Spread the vegetables over the pastry, keeping them within the border, then bake for 20-25 minutes, until crisp and golden.

Arrange the anchovies over the vegetables in a criss-cross pattern, placing half an olive in the centre of each cross. Scatter the basil leaves over the pissaladière, cut into quarters and serve with the salad, dressed with a little oil and a drop of red wine vinegar, if liked.

My go to drink for summer gatherings is this refreshing Beergarita, and let me tell you, it's a total crowd pleaser.
