INSTRUCTIONS
To roast peppers:
Using a long-handled fork char the peppers over an open flame, turning
them, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the skins are blackened. (Or broil the
peppers on the rack of a broiler pan under a preheated broiler about 2
inches from the heat, turning them every 5 minutes, for 15 to 25 minutes,
or until the skins are blistered and charred.) Transfer the peppers to a
bowl and let them steam, covered, until they are cool enough to handle.
Peel them starting at the blossom end, cut off the tops, and discard the
seeds and ribs.
In a kettle cook the chard stems in about 1/2 cup water, covered, over high
heat for 5 minutes, add the chard leaves, and cook the chard, covered,
stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Drain the chard well and in a bowl
toss it with the roasted pepper, the oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the chard mixture, covered and chilled,, for making
the cod cannelloni.
Serves 4 with enough for cannelloni.
