In a bowl tear the bread into small pieces and add 1/3 cup of olive oil, garlic, parsley, salt & .pepper. Add the anchovy paste if using. Mix with your hands to ensure the bread is coated well. You may need a little more olive oil. You want the mixture coated not saturated.

Stuff each pepper with the bread mixture.

Place the peppers in a lightly oiled baking sheet. Coat the peppers in a little olive oil, salt and pepper.

Roast the peppers for 30 minutes or until they are evenly roasted. Flip the peppers half way through cooking. They should have a nice char on them.
