Method

First grill the capsicums by placing them on the stove burner and slowly burning them black.

If you do not own a gas stove, place them under a hot grill. Turn over regularly, they really have to turn black!!!

Once scorched on all sides, transfer them to a plastic bag and tie in a knot. Leave the capsicums to sweat for 30 minutes. Remove. Using a knife, remove the skin. Rinse wel
