What I've done with my pepper surplus OR How to roast a pepper

Step 1: Put the pepper over the flame of your gas stove.

Step 2: When the bottom looks nice and black, turn.

Step 3: Repeat turning the pepper until all sides are sufficiently charred. The less color, the easier it will be to remove the skin.
Step 4: Some people say to let the pepper sit in a closed paper bag for 15 minutes so the skin will loosen and be easier to get off, but I'm not that patient; I usually just start rubbing off any black skin until it's almost all gone. You can run some water over the pepper if it's too hot, or just to wash away some of the charred skin that's already removed.
When it's done it 'll look soft and shouldn't have too much black on it. I love roasted pepper sandwiches, but they're also awesome for making salads a little more exciting. Or be lazy like me and eat it plain with some salt.
