Beautiful, colourful, sweet bell peppers are one of my favourite veggies. While they are great to eat raw in salads or sliced up for a dip, I love how intense their flavour becomes when you roast them. I will often buy roasted red peppers from the antipasto section at the grocery store to put into sandwiches, but it's super easy to make yourself too.
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 450 degree F and set the rack near the top, about 5 inches from the heat element. Wash and slice the peppers in half and place them on a baking tray.
Step 2: Roast the peppers until blackened and charred, about 6 to 10 minutes
Step 3: Put the peppers into a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap for 15 minutes. The steam that is captured will help the skin of the peppers to peel off.
Step 4: Use your hands to peel back the skin off the peppers. If they are too slippery, use a sheet of paper towel as a "glove" to create friction. If the peppers are too hot to handle, put them back in the bowl to cool down a bit.
Step 5: Slice and serve! That's it! Now you have delicious, roasted bell peppers that you can put into sandwiches, puree into a soup, or add to salads and grilled meats. I like to sprinkle mine with coarse sea salt along with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar to draw out the natural, sweet flavours.
Actually yeah i have been interested in the Silkscreening process and only now i have been learning about the Emultion way of doing it instead of using vinyl stuff to make the masking. So we're trying to get to that point ^^
ReplyDeleteI think the most important part of it is that you didn't get enough satisfaction out of it, because if you like something alot, it wouldn't matter if it was too hard. Because you know it would be worth it. I don't believe you can achieve what you want easily, like your Wedding Cake. That was a beautiful cake, and it was hard. You are so talented i think no matter what you do, it will always be great at it. Hopefully that didn't sound like a lecture, because i'm just re-affirming your mature, and high spirirts. ^^
