INSTRUCTIONS
Notes: From Orange County Register Cook's note: Some markets sell roasted red bell peppers in jars. Or, to roast bell peppers, line a baking sheet or jelly-roll pan with aluminum foil, using enough foil so that you have extra on the sides. Place peppers in a single layer on top of foil. Broil 6-8 inches below broiler element. Rotate to char on all sides. Remove from oven and draw up sides of foil to enclose peppers. Allow to rest 5 minutes. Open foil. When peppers are cool enough to handle, peel and seed. Place all ingredients in food processor. Process until smooth. If desired, garnish with a sprig of fresh parsley or basil.
