How to Roast or Grill
Fresh Red Peppers

I love the taste of grilled
or charred red bell peppers.
Once you taste these you'll
be hooked on them just like me.

Ingredients:
6 red bell peppers
olive oil
garlic slices or herbs

Directions:
Wash and pat dry fresh red peppers.
Place on hot grill, turning every few minutes
to get a nice black char, all around the skin.
about 6 minutes or so depending on heat.
Once the peppers are done place in a paper bag.
As the steam from the peppers condenses,
the skin becomes easier to peel off.
Once the peppers have cooled to handle,
peel off the blackened skin and discard.
You can do this with your fingers or
a sharp pairing knife.
Pull or cut off the top of the pepper
and squeeze gently to remove the seeds.
Never rinse or wash the peppers
as the water will diminish the smoky flavor.
When the skins and seeds have been removed
cover them in oil, adding garlic slices or herbs
if desired and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
