directions

  • I put them under a hot grill and turn them infrequently until black all over.
  • I then put them in a pot with a well fitting lid to cool. (The books often say put them in a plastic bag, but I try to minimise my use of plastics for environmental reasons)
  • Once you can handle them you can peel off the black skin easily. Don't run them under the tap as much of the flavour can go.

  1. I rub with a bit of oil. Sometimes I oven, grill or stovetop. Once roasted place in a glass bowl, cover with a cloth towel. Let rest about 15 minutes and peel. We do this with Hatch, bells and jalapeños. Wonderful aroma while they roast.

  2. Let me add that when you find red bell peppers on sale - they can be so expensive! - buy a bunch. Once they are roasted (which I do on my BBQ grill), you can freeze them for later use. After they are roasted, just put them on a cookie sheet and freeze (don't peel them). Once frozen, remove to a ziplock bag and use as needed. They can be pulled out one at a time and they peel easily once defrosted. I also do this with poblano peppers and always have bags of both in my freezer.
     
  3. This is how I roast bell peppers. I use yellow and red, and I make sure to cut each in half, removing seeds & membranes. Then I flatten each pepper half with my palm so that way the broiler heat will be able to evenly blacken all surfaces. I usually have them only inches from the flames, and let them stay under there until the skins are black.
     
  4. This works very well. I just made sure that the pot wasn't very big so that there wasn't as much space to steam in.

  1. These couple of poblanos I used avocado oil on my stovetop flat roaster. So easy. So good.
