- Bell pepper purée: clean, drain and slice the red peppers. Clean the thyme and peel the garlic cloves. Sauté the peppers in olive oil with the garlic and thyme. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add 10 cl of water and simmer until the peppers are cooked through. Remove the thyme and blend with a hand blender or blender.
- Panna cotta: pour the milk, cream and bell pepper purée into a saucepan and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to the boil.
- Meanwhile, rehydrate the gelatine leaves in cold water. Once rehydrated, add them to the previous mixture (off the heat), stirring until dissolved.
