Roasted Red Peppers
Description
Starting with whole red bell peppers, roasting can be done on a grill pan, cast iron skillet, or directly over a gas flame, turning the peppers until all sides are charred and blistered. Alternatively, the oven broiler functions by placing peppers on a foil-lined sheet and broiling with turning to blister skins evenly.
After charring, the peppers are covered to steam for about 10 minutes, loosening the skins for easy peeling. Removing stems, seeds, and membranes finishes the prep so peppers can be used whole or sliced and lightly seasoned with sea salt. This results in tender, smoky peppers with a slightly sweet flavor.
For storage, the peppers are packed in a jar and covered with olive oil, then kept refrigerated for 1 to 2 weeks. This preserves the flavor and texture while allowing for convenient use in salads, sandwiches, sauces, or antipasti preparations.
Ingredients
- bell pepper red
- extra-virgin olive oil
- salt sea salt
Instructions
- To make roasted red peppers on the stovetop, preheat a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium heat, or light a gas flame. Place the red bell peppers directly over the flame or in the hot pan, turning as they blacken and blister. Cook until they are charred on all sides.
- To make roasted red peppers in the oven, preheat the oven broiler. Place the peppers on a foil-lined baking sheet and broil until they are blackened and blistered all over, turning as necessary.
- For either method, remove the peppers from the heat, place in a large bowl, and cover with a towel or plastic wrap. Set aside for 10 minutes to steam and soften.
- Uncover and use your hands to peel off the loose skin.
- Remove the stems, seeds, and membranes. Use the peppers whole or slice into strips. Season to taste with sea salt.
- To store the peppers, transfer them to a jar and pour in olive oil to cover. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and store in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 weeks.
