How to prep

• Rinse under cool, running water
• Cut off the stem end and gently pull out the seed pod
• On a cutting board, slice the pepper in half and remove the white pith
• Place on the skin side down, slice into strips or chunks, according to recipe directions

Chef's tip

Transform a roasted red bell pepper into a Spanish-style Romesco sauce:

• Blend in a food processor with a clove of minced garlic, 1/2 cup Marcona almonds and 1/4 cup of rustic bread, crust removed and torn into small pieces
• Add 1/3 cup olive oil in a steady stream while the processor is running
• Taste and season with salt and fresh ground pepper

Try this colorful sauce with grilled chicken or lamb chops.
