Tips
Make your own roasted red peppers or substitute 1⁄2 cup (125 mL) bottled roasted red peppers.
To Roast Peppers
Heat barbecue or broiler; place peppers on grill or broiling pan and cook until skins turn black. Keep turning peppers until skins are blistered and black. Place roasted peppers in large pot with lid. Steam will make them sweat and skin will be easier to peel off.
Let peppers cool. Remove stems, seeds and skin.
