Recipe for Roasted Bell Peppers

If you have a gas stove roasted baby peppers are just so easy and a great way to preserve them when they’re in season.  And, if you don’t have a gas stove, then you can use your outdoor gas grill! Once charred and cooled you can also put in zip lock freezer bags for later use.

Ingredients

• 10-12 baby peppers washed, tops cut off and sliced in halves (or you can roast whole)
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 tsp. cumin
• 1/2 tsp. sea salt
• 1/4 tsp. red chili flakes
• 1/2 tsp. dried cilantro
• 3-4 sprigs of fresh cilantro

Instructions

1. Roast the peppers on an open gas flame rotating as the skin begins to bubble and burn.  When done to your satisfaction (how burned do you want them), remove to a bowl and cover w/a lid.  
2. Let the peppers steam and sweat for an hour or more.  When cool, remove as much of the skin and charring as you like. Place in a small bowl.  I prefer some black charring on my roasted peppers.
3. Combine the olive oil, cumin, salt, chili flakes and dried cilantro in a small bowl.  Drizzle this mixture on the roasted peppers, toss and blend.  Toss in the fresh cilantro.  Store the peppers in a glass container and refrigerate.
   
   
   
   
    
   
   
   

Notes

If you roasted whole, remove the stems and inside guts and most of the seeds and slice into your desired pieces.)

You can refrigerate for about 3-4 weeks. The olive oil will be congealed. Remove and just let it come to room temperature. Or remove the peppers you want and return the container to the refrigerator.
