👨‍🍳 Instructions

Preheat the broiler.

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lay 6 of the pepper halves, cut side down, on the foil and broil 2 inches from the heat until well charred, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer the peppers to a plastic bag and seal the bag.

Allow the peppers to steam in the bag for 10 minutes.

Then remove them from the bag and slip off and discard the skins.

Coarsely chop the peppers and set aside.
