buying roasted peppers is easy, but doing it yourself is way funner! i've roasted peppers on a gas stove but this was my first time roasting one inside the firebox of a wood cook-stove. i took a whole pepper, gave it a good wash and then placed it on top of a chuck of wood inside the stove. i had recently put a piece of pine in the fire box, so there was a good sturdy piece of wood for the pepper to rest on while it roasted.
you want the pepper to be in the flame, so it can become completely chared and black. you'll have to get a pair of tongs and keep turning it ever once in a while so that it char evenly.
once its all black, take it out and place it in a glass bowl and cover with plastic warp. you'll need to let it sit for about 10-15 minutes so that it can sweat. this will allow the the skin rub off very easily. once you have all the blackened skin off you're ready to go!
i have a super awesome recipe for a roasted eggplant and roasted pepper soup that i'll have to post one of these days. the texture and the flavor is amazing!
