Once you begin to include roasted red bell peppers in your everyday cooking, you'll wonder how you got along without a ready supply. Toss them into cooked rice or pasta or stuff them into sandwiches.
Special Diets:
Method
Quarter peppers lengthwise and remove stem and seeds.
Place them peel side up in a broiler pan.
Broil 2 inches from heat for about 10 minutes or until peppers are charred.
Put them immediately in a paper bag, close tightly and allow to cool.
Once cool enough to handle, peel skin off peppers and cut into 1/2-inch wide strips.
Combine oil, lemon juice and salt in a jar or plastic container and add peppers.
Store in the refrigerator until you need them.
Peppers can also be charred on the grill instead of the broiler. For a more pungent flavor, add garlic and rosemary to the oil.
