Roasted Peppers



This is so simple, but I had to add it as it was something I had made today.
Place the peppers on the gas burner and rotate them as they blacken. Once they are completely blackened, place them into a paper bag and allow them to rest. Oh yeah, expect your kitchen to smell a bit. Personally, I like the smell. Once the peppers have rested about 5 minutes, they are ready to be peeled. Under cold running water work the peppers in your hands to rub the skins off.

With a sharp paring knife cut peppers in half and free up the top section.
Run some water over the peppers to remove the seeds.
Slice into strips while also slicing off the ribs.
Now they are ready for dressing.

I use a combination olive oil, vinegar, mustard powder, dill, kosher salt, and pepper.
You can substitute the vinegar for citrus, like lemon or lime juice.
