How to roast peppers on the hob ?

Traditionally, roasted peppers are cooked directly on a gas hob. This method is particularly useful if you’re looking to achieve a smokier, charred flavour. Put whole peppers directly on the flame of a gas hob and cook for 10-15 mins, turning often, until completely charred. You’ll know they’re done when they reach a deep, blackened colour.

How to peel roasted peppers ?

Once your peppers are roasted, pile them (still hot) into large food bags and seal. Set aside to cool in the bags, then peel off the skins and scrape away any lingering seeds. Alternatively, leave your peppers to cool at room temperature before peeling. The skin should slip right off if the peppers have been roasted well, so if you’re having trouble removing the skins, it may be worth cooking your peppers for slightly longer.

How do I store roasted peppers?

Once peeled and cooled, you can store your peppers in an airtight container in the fridge for five days. Alternatively, slice the peppers and put them in a jar with good-quality olive oil and crushed garlic cloves, then store in the fridge for up to one week. Do not freeze the peppers.
