Roasting Peppers


One of the fall aromas in our house is that of peppers roasting on the gas stove.

A little burn, a little sweet, a little spicy. Fortunately I rarely set off the smoke detector.

Fall is the time organic peppers are inexpensive at the Hollywood Farmers Market, and I buy extra to roast and freeze. All winter I will enjoy the ease of pulling a roasted pepper from the freezer and adding its smoky sweetness to a stew or casserole.

I mainly roast red peppers and poblanos. You can read how I do it here.

Our friendly squirrel prepares for winter by burying nuts. I prepare by burying peppers in the freezer. We are both most satisfied.
