- Preheat the oven to 200˚C/Gas mark 6.
- Place the peppers on a tray and roast in the oven for about 30 mins until the skins are blackened. Remove from the oven and cover with clingfilm. When peppers are cold enough to handle, peel off the skins using your fingers and discard all the seeds. Slice thinly and set aside.

- Divide mozzarella cheese between 4 plates. Arrange roasted red pepper on the top of mozzarella cheese. Cover with small “bowl” of rocket salad. Garnish with ripe cherry tomatoes and serve straight away.
