I use red peppers a lot, but they are grown so large these days that more often than not, I find myself with a quarter or a half that needs to be used up.

If you have gas burners, use this top-of-the-stove method rather than doing them in the oven (if you don’t have gas burners, see page 143 for roasting). Because they become thoroughly charred all over, they develop a wonderful smoky flavor.
