Roasted Red Bell Peppers - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 large red bell peppers (halved lengthwise, remove the white part seeds)
olive oil

Preparation

Rub the outside of the pepper halves with olive oil.
Arrange cut-side down in one layer onto a baking sheet or a shallow pan.
Preheat the broiler and set the oven rack 4-5 inches from the heat.
Broil the peppers until well charred (the peppers will not char evenly at the ends, this will take about 20 minutes or a little more).
Transfer to a plate or bowl and immediately cover tightly with heat-proof heavy plastic wrap (I like using Saran Wrap for this).
Allow to stand for about 20-25 minutes.
When the peppers are cool enough to handle peel off the the skin.
Chop to desired size then use immediately or transfer to a glass jar.
