As I was making roasted bell peppers on the grill tonight, the thought crossed my mind that other SF cooks might not know how easy these are to make:
1. Wash and cut up the bell pepper (red, orange, and yellow work best) into large flat pieces, not strips. If the pieces still have a curl to them, flatten them out with your hand.
2. lay them in a dish, outside (skin side) facing up. Coat with olive oil and kosher salt.
3. Grill (or broil in the oven) with the skin side facing the flame. Use high heat. You want to char that outer skin without burning through. Usually this takes about 5 to 10 minutes, but the best bet is to keep an eye on the peppers to make sure they don't burn through. You want to blacken and blister the skin.
4. When done, remove from the heat and put the peppers into a Tupperware dish, sealed tight.
5. Place the Tupperware in the fridge and let it chill out. You don't have to leave it in for hours; just enough to get the skin to separate from the flesh.
6. Remove the tupperware and peel off the pepper's skin by hand. This should be easy if you've attained a good burn over the face of the pepper.
7. Cut up the remaining flesh of the peppers (into strips, cubes, etc) and serve.
