Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 250°C (482°F).
  2. Wash the peppers and prick lightly with a fork. Place them on a lined baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
  3. Roast the peppers in the oven for 20–30 minutes, turning occasionally until the skins blister and turn black.
  4. Transfer the peppers to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let them steam for 10 minutes.
  5. Peel off the charred skin, remove seeds, and slice the peppers into thin strips.
  6. In a skillet over low heat, warm half of the olive oil. Add the pepper strips, marjoram, and red wine vinegar. Simmer gently for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. In another skillet, sauté shallots and garlic in the remaining olive oil until golden. Stir in capers, olives, and sugar; cook for another 5 minutes.
  8. Toast the sourdough slices until golden. Rub each piece with the cut side of a garlic clove and drizzle with olive oil.
  9. Spread a layer of goat cheese on each toast, top with roasted peppers, sprinkle with black pepper, and finish with the shallot-olive mixture.
