Sweet Bell Peppers

Bell peppers that have been roasted over coals until the skins are blackened form the basis of that extremely delicious and useful condiment—roasted peppers. It’s usually easier to do this over a gas flame in the kitchen, so the directions for roasting, peeling, and marinating peppers are given in another section. However, if you’re grilling and have a chance to roast a few peppers in this fashion, the results will be very much worth the effort. Just grill them until they’re charred all over; then set them in a bowl covered with a plate to steam them and follow the directions from there.
