Ingredients

  • 2 red bell peppers

  • Slice peppers in half, de-seed, remove stem, and brush with olive oil.
  • Roast the peppers either on the grill or in the oven (about 25 mins in the oven, 10-15 mins on the grill). The skins should be completely wrinkled and charred (see picture above).
  • Transfer peppers to a bowl, cover, and let steam 10 minutes. Peel off skin, reserving juices.
