These peppers are really, REALLY good!! I halved the recipe since peppers right now are high priced and found that I could easily eat the whole plate of them. Such great flavors and pretty too. I saved some to serve on a lettuce salad. Easy and worth every penny!

    My DH loves roasted peppers so I had to make this recipe. It is so yummy. I added some fresh oregano as well. Made for Family Picks for the ZWT4 for the Tastebud Tickling Travellers.

    I was roasting some peppers for a sauce, so did this at the same time! I was wishing I could eat all the peppers this way, it was so good! I didn't take a pic, cause I used all red peppers. Yum! Thank you!!!

    A delicious side either freshly made or warmed over. Very quick to put together. After blistering the skins of the peppers, they were put into a brown paper bag and allowed to cool to the touch. This helps the skins to slip off.
