Additional Information - -
To roast peppers:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Halve peppers lengthwise, remove stems,
seeds and membranes. (When working with chile pepper, wear plastic or
rubber gloves so oils in the chile don't burn your skin.) Line baking
sheet with foil, place pepper halves cut side down. Bake 15 to 20 minutes
or until skins are blistered and dark. Carefully bring foil up and around
the pepper halves to enclose. Let stand about 20 minutes or until cool
enough to handle. Use a sharp knife to loosen the edges of skin; gently
and slowly peel off the skin and discard.
