Roasted Red Peppers

3.8

(3)

Just as diced roasted red peppers add a distinctive vegetal sweetness to any dish they appear in, these, left in large chunks for maximum boldness, really complement the meat and its stuffing.

Cooks' note:

Roasted red peppers can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before serving.

    Makes 8 servings

Ingredients

5 large red bell peppers, halved lengthwise, discarding stems and seeds
Olive oil for rubbing

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Rub outsides of peppers with oil, then arrange peppers, cut sides down, in 1 layer in a large shallow baking pan.

    Step 2

    Preheat broiler

    Step 3

    Broil peppers 4 to 5 inches from heat until well charred (peppers will not char evenly, especially at ends), 20 to 25 minutes.

    Step 4

    Transfer to a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap, then let stand about 20 minutes.

    Step 5

    When peppers are cool enough to handle, peel off skin. Chop peppers and reserve 1/4 cup for saffron rouille (if making) or for another use.
