Roasted Red Peppers

After posting the pizza I realized I didn't let you in on the secret of making roasted red peppers! Better late than never!! And roasting peppers is FUN stuff!

Good, charred, bubbled up skin!
First, wash the peppers and PLEASE remember to peel off any stickers! For a gas top stove, set your flame to medium-high, place the pepper directly in the flame and burn it to hell! For an electric stove, set your broiler to high, place the peppers on the top rack, and...you guessed it...burn 'em up! Slowly rotate and get each side equally charred. As soon as they are thoroughly charred place in a paper bag, crumple the top and let sit for about 20-30 minutes. This allows the peppers to steam, which pulls the charred skin away from the "meat" of the pepper. To peel the pepper, simply use your fingers to pull away the skin. Running the peppers under water while doing this will help the process. Seed and slice into thin strips and they are ready to use! Mine last about 3 days in tupperware in the fridge (if we don't eat them immediately).

Glorious, sweet and smokey, goodness!
A very simple, easy way to save money is to try and not buy prepared foods whenever possible. This means doing a little more work yourself, but they payoff is amazing food that you made!
