- To roast the chiles hold them over an open flame or roast at 425 degrees F in the oven until the skin is blistered on all sides. Immediately place in a paper bag, roll the top down and allow chiles to steam for a few minutes. Then, when cool enough to handle, peel off the outer skin.

Hi my name is Pearl and I'm a foodaholic!
I was spoiled with home-cooked meals when I lived with my parents, so I never really had to cook much. Since moving out on my own, I would say I've become more of a novice cook. I absolutely love finding new recipes to try and am constantly on Zaar.
