Pepper
skins can be a little tough, so it is desirable to remove them when
making smooth sauces or soups, or fresh salads.
- Spear the
pepper on a fork and hold it over a gas flame, rotating it
occasionally until the skin is blistered and charred on all sides.
-
Alternatively, place the pepper on a grill pan under a preheated hot
grill and turn occasionally until charred on all sides.
- Place the
charred pepper in a plastic bag and leave until cool enough to
handle.
- Remove
the loosened skin and use the pepper flesh as required.
