How to make this:

  2. Roast the bell pepper in the oven until the skin is blackened. Place the peppers in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let is sit until the peppers are cooled off, peel and chop in the same size as your artichokes.
  3. For the dressing: add the shallots, basil, mustard, lemon juice and seasoning in your food processor and pulse a couple times until everything is nicely combined. Add the olive oil bit by bit until you have a nice emulsified dressing.
  4. Pour the dressing over the (still warm) artichokes and bell peppers
