It would be a great stretch of the imagination to call this a recipe but these red peppers make a great appetizer alone or they can be whizzed up in a food processor with some sour cream or light cream cheese for a great dip or even blended up with some plain hummus.....
They are also a great addition to any pasta dish!
Roasted red peppers
As many red peppers as you can fit on your barbie or under the broiler
Thinly sliced garlic cloves (optional)
Canola or olive oil to taste (optional)
Heat your barbie to high or the broiler
Place the whole (washed and dried) red peppers on the grill at high heat and turn until the flesh is blackened all over.
Place in a plastic zip lock bag for about 30 minutes to let the peppers cool and steam.
When cool enough to handle peel off the skin (should slip off easily) scrape out the seeds and cut or tear into small strips. Don't wash the seeds out, you'll remove some of the flavor.
Add to a glass jar or dish with the sliced garlic, a little salt, and some oil if required.
Keeps for about a week in the fridge but they are soooo good, so that would be a miracle!
