Notes
Serve with crackers, sliced baguette, or vegetables Makes approximately 3 cups How to roast peppers: Put an oven rack to the highest level. Place a sheet pan or a piece of aluminum foil on the rack below it, under where you’ll place the pepper(s). Turn on your broiler. Place the peppers on their side, directly on the higher rack, under the broiler element or flame. Carefully rotate the peppers after each side is blackened. Do this for the whole pepper, until none, or very little, of the peppers’ color shows through. After removing the peppers from the oven, place them in either a brown paper bag, or in a bowl sealed tightly with plastic wrap. Let this sit at room temperature for at least one hour, but not more than two. With a paring knife, scrape away the blacked skin and seeds. You’re now ready to use your roasted peppers!
