Roasted Red Peppers

 Roasted Red Peppers
I remember the first time I ate a roasted red pepper.  We were at a little Italian restaurant in San Francisco many years ago.  The peppers came on an antipasti platter and were drizzled with a wonderful olive oil.  The flavor was so great that I've been making them ever since.  Serve as a side...plain and simple or dice and add to...whatever.  The video shows roasting on a gas stove but you can broil or grill them for the same effect.  You just want an even black smoky charred surface.

2 whole fresh red peppers
salt and pepper
extra virgin olive oil
