Roasted Bell Peppers

This recipe is one that has scared me for months. I keep seeing people placing bell peppers directly onto the grates of their gas stove tops and cooking directly on the flame. I finally worked up the courage to do it myself and guess what? It wasn't so bad. What you'll need? Some Bell Peppers, Some Tongs - preferably with longer handles and some patience.

Roasted Bell Peppers

Green, Red or Yellow Bell Peppers
Gas Stove Top or Grill

Place the peppers on the grate of your gas stove top or your grill and turn the flame on high. Now be patient, you will hear some sizzling and popping as the moisture in the peppers burns off and the skin chars. This is the one time I am going to tell you this....burn your pepper. You want the pepper black all over, so carefully with the tongs rotate the pepper every 2 minutes or so allowing each side to char, make sure to stand it up on each end so it burns all over, believe me it was hard to let food burn but I did it and the reward was worth it.

After you finish charring each pepper place them in a bowl with a lid and let them cool off, once cool take your hand and rub all over the pepper, you will find that the skin comes right off! Discard the skin, cut the pepper open and remove all of the seeds and stem, slice, dice or do whatever your recipe calls for and enjoy!
