  • Step #7 This recipe yields 6 servings.
  • Step #8 Comments: Fresh chiles & bell peppers can be roasted over a gas flame or on a tray under the broiler.
  • Step #9 Keep turning so the skin is evenly charred, without burning & drying out the flesh.
  • Step #10 Transfer the charred peppers to a plastic bag, tie the top closed & let steam until cool to the touch, about 15 mins.
  • Step #11 (If you are rushed, you can place the bag in a bowl of iced water to speed things up.
  • Step #12 ) The best way to peel is just to pull off the charred skin by hand and then dip the peppers briefly in water to remove any blackened bits.
  • Step #13 Do not peel the pepper under running water since that will wash away flavorful juices.
  • Step #14 Once peeled, cut away stems, seeds & veins.
  • Step #15 --.
