Alan’s Kitchen Tip: Red bell pepper can be purchased already roasted. To roast your own, cut a large red bell pepper in half lengthwise; remove seeds. Place pepper, cut-side down, on broiler pan. Broil 5 to 6 inches from heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until skin is blackened. Wrap roasted pepper halves in damp paper towel and place in plastic bag. Cool. Peel skin from pepper halves; discard. Use roasted pepper as directed in recipe.
