Equipment
Broiler safe pan
Large bowl
Oven
paper towels or gloves
knife
foil
plastic wrap
cutting board
Ingredients
3
large
red bell peppers
1
tbs
oil
Instructions
Turn broiler onto high and line a broiler safe pan with foil.
Rub outside of the peppers with oil and place on pan. Place in oven.
Cook for 20 to 25 minutes rotating peppers every 5 minutes until peppers are blistered and blackened and starting to collapse.
Remove from oven and transfer peppers to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to steam for 5 to 10 minutes.
Remove plastic wrap and lift peppers up and slice into them with knife while still over the bowl to release the juices.
Transfer to a cutting board and using paper towels or by wearing gloves peel off skin. Then pull up on stems to remove them.
Slice peppers open and lay flat, scraping inside to remove any seeds. Slice into shape as desired and use, or store in fridge for up to a week.
Notes
This can also be done on a grill or open flame until blackened. Follow steps 4 through 8 after that.
