Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Broiler method:

    Step 1

    Preheat broiler.

    Step 2

    Quarter peppers lengthwise, discarding stems, seeds, and ribs. Put peppers, skin sides up, on rack of a broiler pan and broil about 2 inches from heat until skins are blistered and charred, 8 to 12 minutes.

    Step 3

    Transfer peppers to a bowl and let stand, covered, until cool enough to handle. Peel peppers.

  2. Gas stove method:

    Step 4

    Lay whole peppers, on their sides, on racks of burners (preferably 1 to a burner) and turn flame on high. Char peppers, turning them with tongs, until skins are blackened, 6 to 8 minutes.

    Step 5

    Transfer peppers to a bowl and let stand, covered, until cool enough to handle. Peel peppers. Cut off tops and discard seeds and ribs.
