HOW TO ROAST A SWEET PEPPER
HEAT BROILER. CUT LENGTHWISE IN HALF AND REMOVE SEEDS, STEM AND RIBS.
WASH AND PAT DRY. USING A SHARP KNIFE, MAKE TINY CUTS AT TO AND BOTTOM
OF PEPPER HALVES; PRESS GENTLY TO FLATTEN. BROIL SKIN SIDE UP, 3 TO 4
INCHES FROM HEAT SOURCE, UNTIL SKIN IS CHARRED AND BLISTERED - ABOUT 10
MINUTES. IMMEDIATELY PLACE PEPPERS IN PLASTIC BAG; SEAL TIGHTLY AND LET
COOL. SCRAPE AWAY CHARRED SKIN; RINSE PEPPERS QUICKLY UNDER COLD WATER
TO REMOVE ANY BLACK BITS. USE IMMEDIATELY IN SALADS, ON PIZZAS. OR
STORE WITH OLIVE OR VINEGAR IN A JAR IN THE REFRIGERATOR.
