Roasted Red Peppers

3.8

(3)

Just as diced roasted red peppers add a distinctive vegetal sweetness to any dish they appear in, these, left in large chunks for maximum boldness, really complement the meat and its stuffing.

Cooks' note:

Roasted red peppers can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before serving.

    Step 3

    Broil peppers 4 to 5 inches from heat until well charred (peppers will not char evenly, especially at ends), 20 to 25 minutes.
