Peeling Peppers
Preheat broiler and set the rack 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place peppers on the baking sheet and roast for about 15 minutes, using tongs to turn them occasionally, until the skins are charred.
Transfer the roasted peppers to a plastic bag for about 10 minutes, allowing them to steam as they cool. Once they are cool enough to handle, peel off the skin, cut off the stems, open them up and remove the seeds.
