Roasting Peppers

There are several ways to roast a pepper. You can easily achieve this on a grill, over the open flame of a gas stove, or under a broiler. My favorite way is on a grill, but in my apartment I roast peppers as follows..

First, slice em in half, remove the stems, pith and seeds. Rub oil over the skin side of each pepper, them put em under the broiler.

Once the skin starts to brown, bubble and pull away from the flesh.. you have success!

Now to easily remove the skin from the sweet roasted flesh is to store them in an air tight container. You can toss em in a ziplock bag, a brown paper bag... tonight I had this tupperware handy so in they went. Keep the container in the fridge for about 20 minutes. Once they've cooled you can easily peel them.
