- Place the peppers in a glass bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let cool to room temperature for 20 minutes.
- Slice the cooled peppers lengthwise in half and remove and discard the skins, seeds, and ribs. Slice into 1/4 inch wide strips and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat and sweat the onions for 5 minutes, or until just soft and translucent. Add the garlic and saute for 2 minutes.
- Stir in the chile flakes and paprika, then add the roasted peppers strips, peppadews, bay leaf, rosemary, and thyme. Lower heat and cook at a low simmer for 20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Stir in the red wine vinegar and capers and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove and discard the bay leaf, rosemary, and thyme. Stir in the salt.
- Transfer to a serving bowl and serve at room temperature.
