1. Heat the oven to 200 C
2. Roast the peppers by cutting each pepper in
half and removing all seeds and white parts. Place
on a baking tray lined with aluminum foil with
cut side down. Roast for 40 to 50 minutes.
3. Move to a bowl and cover with nylon wrap and
leave for 20 minutes to cool and to ease skinning.
Remove skin but don't do this under water or the
peppers will lose taste.
