ROASTED/Grilled RED PEPPERS ~
A farm stand near me had a closeout sale on beautiful red bell peppers. I bought some with the idea of roasting them; then thought, why not do them on my gas grill outside? It worked out great!
I simply washed, halved, cored and seeded them, drizzled with evoo, and placed them skin side down on a med.-high grill, turning once the skin had begun to char, lowered temp., closed lid and roasted 10 mins. more.
I then removed them into a covered pan to steam so the skins would slide off easily.
They did, leaving just a touch of char, which is fine; added more evoo, salt, pepper and garlic, placed into a quart jar in the fridge until ready to use! They will keep nicely for weeks.
I do a similar roast with tomatoes in my oven, making something like a sun-dried tomatoes... very good. Both are delicious in salads.
