In medium bowl, stir together remaining ingredients. Add peppers; toss to coat. Cover; refrigerate until serving time, at least 4 hours. Remove garlic before serving. Yields 1 1/2 cups. Serves 4.

CHEF COMMENTS

Green and red peppers appear as an ingredient in many recipes, but they also make a fine dish on their own. These roast peppers, with their Italian style marinade, can be included in salads and sandwiches or served just as they are.
