Method

1.Place a wire rack over the flame on a gas cooktop. Place capsicums on rack and cook over flame for 10 minutes, turning on all sides, until blackened. Transfer to a large bowl. Cover with cling film. Set aside for 10 minutes.
2.Preheat an oven grill on high. Cook bacon for 4-5 minutes each side until very crispy. Drain on a paper towel. When cool, break into pieces.
